Nobody?

Was that a particularly retarded question or am I in the wrong forum?

Any help would be great.

Most wifi routers have wireless on by default (with no security), so yes, it's most likely possible. But be prepared, when you add security you'd get kicked instantly and have to reconnect with the security key
