You can set up security measures to prevent that.

No they can't see your site or anything on your computer really, but to prevent them from accessing your computer first you have to put peanut oil all over you router, and then saran rap, and then finally you have to stick it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds,(depending on the router), on high.

Or you could enable MAC filtering, change and hide the SSID, and set a WPA password.

They can also see your DNA and all that good stuff... Especially your credit card number(s). And you social security number too, before I forget.

LOL JK. You can easily make it more secure.

Why not use a WEP key?

BTW, the peanut oil really helps. I tried that on mine, and it went twice as fast. It was also shinier.

Only if they are skilled enough to read the packets between your computer and the router.

WEP is old, and is easy to hack apparently. WPA is a much more recent and secure method of wireless security. There isn't much difference in terms of setting it up.

Are they packets of ketchup? I like ketchup. Especially on waffles.

Mmmm, that peanut oil smells delicious...

WEP is easy to hack if you really want to, but trying to guess a 64-character passcode can be pretty hard unless there is something that you really need to get to.

Hah. I thought you were worried about outsiders getting your personal details.... Well, I don't think it's possible for you mum to see what you're doing, unless she has some kind of parental control system set up.

I doubt your mom knows how to read packets to see what sites you've been on, let alone log on to your router.

Yes, but to see what sites you've been too, she would have to download a program to do it or log on to your router with your username and password.

Well, some routers have ip or domain logs so you can see what recent networks have been connected to.
