It'll become an issue when the local competition offers free Wi-Fi and starts taking custom away... Gordon Possibly, suggest you do following: Install BT router, on separate land line [or via a wire/switch box from your BT router (?)] set to BT openzone with wireless at best security you can set up Block all other access except to your own land line or router and us eyour ethernet wire to your set up to moniter Router wireless set up. State BT Openzone available to members who are on BT Openzone or purchase Openzone access - This is the key to remove you from any download problem. They the user are using BT as a direct ISO (you only provide wires/wireless) Important RESET key at each holiday occupant change. Provide wireless Key to user with terms of acceptable use. (These must prohibit any download or upload of unacceptable or illegal files) LOCK router in cupboard (wood so no Fariday cage) or better in a box in attic or roof space (BT directional signal is downward). Do not disclose Router place. The key is that they use a public wireless access for which they have link to Public ISP. Bt tends to be unencrypted on BT Openzone I think. I provide outside my house and there is no crosslink to my own use. There are about 15 BT Openzone hot spots in our village from private houses. I assume same can be achieved with any other ISP -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
