YES!
Anyone can search your wifi (i hope it has its default settings) and connect to it. If you dont want your wifi, you can disable it orelse
a) define your own SID, name it
b) hide your own SID from searching.

By this way, only those who know your SID can connect to your modem.

well thanx i will do that...
but how can i have a not alwys on ethernet connection...what i actually want is that everytime i connect the Ethernet i shud dial the BSNL b4 i start my surfing..

Your current configuration of your modem is in PPPOE mode, you want to change it to bridge mode.

It must be helpful to you...

There are enough threads discussed in this forum for configuring bridge mode in modem for bsnl connectivity. You can easily search and find it.
