Today, my dad got a warning from our ISP for going well over their fair usage limit. I barely use our wifi, and I keep telling him he should password-protect our router to stop people leeching our Internet. He's blaming me anyway, and says I'm grounded until January. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that my best friend's dad used my internet connection to make threats online. I'm going to have to go to court for it. FML
Today, my dad grounded me. Again. First it was my phone, now my watch. How the hell am I supposed to communicate now? FML
Today, my dad grounded me for not having any friends. FML
Today, my dad grounded me for two weeks for profusely swearing at my misbehaving laptop. After some arguing, he actually accepted my half-joking offer to play a game of CoD over it. His condition was that if I lost, my grounding period would double. We played. He kicked my ass. FML
Today, my dad tried to blame me for ringing an out of network number for two hours, which charged his bill by the minute. I rang the number, which turned out to belong to one of his business pals who lives abroad. He punished me anyway for having an attitude when I proved the call was his fault. FML
Today, I threatened my kids I’d turn off their WiFi unless they did their chores, so my eldest chimed in, "Please, we changed the WiFi password months ago in case you tried to threaten us like this," then turned off my WiFi, which I need to work from home. I had to beg a 12-year-old to let me work. FML
Today, I tried to blackmail my dad by threatening to tell mom about the bong and weed he keeps hidden in the garage. Turns out she already knew about it and neither of them give a shit. Now I'm grounded until the new year. FML
Today, my son tried extort me into turning the WiFi back on by hiding my purse. He was mad because he'd lost access for being disrespectful. FML
Today, my Dad thought "Joseph" and "Francis" were two people hacking our internet. They are actually the names of my laptop and iPod, which have now been blocked from using our modem. He can't figure out how to unblock them. FML
Today, my dad forgot it's my birthday. When I told him about it, he accused me of lying and threatened to ground me for a week. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I guess your dad doesn't want to admit he downloaded gigabytes of gay **** videos. If he password-protects the router, he doesn't have a credible excuse anymore.

Just add a password yourself and go connect his devices. Unless he has to connect something else, he probably wont look at the network settings again. Also, you could tell him that anyone can connect and download illegal data, which could technically be traced back to him.

Since you are grounded why don't you lock your own wifi and watch your other family members freak out when they can't use it! At least you can create your own entertainment!

Hey this might be buried but ill tell you how to do it yourself. Go on google and type in whats my IP adress. It will gake you to a website that will tell you. Then type in that IP into the search bar and it will take you to the router info. It will ask you for a username and password and if your parents arent smart they never changed it. The username is: admin. the password is: password. There you go now from there you should be able to change your password!

I run WPA2 and found an unknown intruder on my network the other day. I was scanning in an attempt to figure out why I was having network problems. Also, I happen to be a professional in this business... Well, a new key helped but I'm still very concerned. If these idiots can hack me, what chance does the rest of the world have?

WPA2 with a very long key since it cant still be brute forced.
