This is why my office is not on wireless network.

EVERYTHING in my office is on hard lines.  No wireless anything.

This is going to lead to more regulation.   The IRS will blame the tax preparer community for the vast amounts of refund fraud and make us all get certification that our systems meet their regulations.   HRB security systems will be the model for the regulations.   Cynical?  YES!   But it isn't paranoia if they really are after you...... is it?

Hard wires here, too.

[Jack from Ohio]

Hard wired totally here.  All wireless devices have the wireless functions disabled.  I have a separate router, on a separate line for client use in the office.

[Lion EA]

I don't let clients use my internet.  If they're able to connect their phones to their own carriers (not always possible out here in the boonies) then they can use their own devices on their own networks.  I'll hand them my landline to make a necessary telephone call.

[TAXMAN]

Totally hard wired here also. NO client use of my network for anything.
