How do I encrypt data sent over an unsecured wireless Internet connection, so other people can't read my data

Yes, make a secure connection or use a program like Anonymizer that encrypts the wireless.

if they are connected to a common lan connection there is nothing you can do but if its a wireless lan then you can secure the wireless lan by going for encryption and only you can use it

I don't know where you can get it, but WEP has been cracked. It just isn't secure. Maybe you'd rather look into some more secure algorithm, like WPA?

Correct.  Your information can easily be intercepted, but because of the encryption cannot be read.

1. dont broadcast ssid\n2. create a ssid that is long and alpha numeric\n3. use wep or wpa\n4. use mac address filter\n5. use time restriction\n6. use wireless station listing\n7. set password to admin \n8. change the above once in a while

It helps to create a 'tunnel'or a secure way to transmit http or web data in a secure way over VPN or public networks.\nIt does so by encryptng data packets, which can be decrypted only by destination computer.\nHence, even if someone intercepts web traffic and tries to see your data, it is difficult for him, because data is in a tunnel and in encrypted form.

You have to access your router's set-up, and look into the Security option.  In the choices it will say something about Enabling encryption.  Listed in the options will be the Wep Key.  It may be blocked out with **********'s  so if you are stuck and don't know what it was just change it.

I would always assume that anything being sent over any public format is being recorded in some way. If you want to be secure then use encrypted email or maybe one of the programs that say they can encrypt a chat session. I've not used one of these as I don't run chat sessions but looking over the specs it certainly looks like it can do what it says.

Wherever it's coming from, it is not a secure network, since you are able to connect to it, so be careful with your personal information, as it is not encrypted.

What will be the volume of the data? Can those data be encrypted?

get a wireless encryption key from you router maker

Use password encryption with 128 bit cypher strength on all of the files. That will give them a hard way to go!

To make your situation worse, you are currently login with administrative access and has no password assigned to your account. That's a disaster. :D\n\n\nYou definetely want to secure your wireless AND your computer.\n\nsee Linksys website to get general idea about securing wireless network:\n\nhttp://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Content_C1&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1114037291212&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper\n\nHope it helps...

When you use Internet Explorer, it shows a little lock in the bottom bar when it's using "SSL" (a secure web connection).\n\nIf you want to be really sure, you can download a packet sniffer, like ethereal, and actually look into your web traffic.  When you download an unencrypted page like www.yahoo.com, you'll be able to see the "clear text" of the traffic.  When you view your account balance at wellsfargo.com, you'll see that it's encrypted.

Use a hardware firewall with NAT and all ports stealthed. Make sure UPnP is disabled, and only allow outgoing connections to trusted (non-proxy) sites.

If you live in a large apartment complex, it is likely that you can get a wireless adapter and get a signal from a wireless router of one of your neighbors who was foolish enough not to secure the network.  I just checked and I can get signals from 6 wireless networks besides my own and 3 of them are not encrypted.

You can set up the security key  for your wireless network. It's like a password, everyone wants to use your network has to use this key.   \n\n. Because you will need a default password to access this feature, you should check the manual or any provided intruction to help you.
