What is the best way to secure my DSL so my teens kids can't jump on the internet with IE instead of using the AOL with parental controls (just forund out their getting sneakier!)
Q-3:
What is the best way to "NAME" my wireless, so that when I, or guest, use their wireless laptops, they know what connection is mine.

1) Check out http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/n101379.asp
2) Not sure you can do it on a Netgear, but some routers / firewalls allow for application blocking. I think a host based firewall like Windows XP exceptions or ZoneAlarm can be configured to "block IE" and "allow AOL". The other option is to dump the AOL parenting and get a firewall that does the parenting for you (Astaro firewall comes to mind).
3) My fav is SSID name of "honeypot". It's a hacker / security term for a network or target that's acting as a decoy for hackers; but is monitored very closely. http://wi-fiplanet.webopedia.com/TERM/H/honeypot.html
