1.You cannot change your USERID given by BSNL to
connect to Internet.
2. If you had not enabled WIreless settings in your
modem/router , no problem.
3.If you had set wiFi for your own use laptop etc
ensure you use a security key.
4. Click the wifi icon in your task bar and
select "View available wireless networks "
Yours should appear secured etc.
5. You have not mentioned your modem/model/make.
Refer this link for reference/s
wireless security etc.

what i actually meant to ask was that what all a laptop would need to access my net? can there be any intrusions by any way? wont the laptop user need my password( which is very simple of course) and id?
