If the application is a success , we'll probably get all the staff on wirless. What happens to the exsisting network I'm not sure yet.
As an arcitectual practice, I'm not sure how much 'outside' people would want our data but I suppose its better to be safe. I did drive around with a friend whose Wi-Fi crazy, and its amazing how many open wirless networks you can find, and just hop on with no form of protection.
I guess that was the wake up call!!!
Anyway, thanks a lot people, appreciate the help.

Glad we can be of help.
In regards to how many people may or may not want your data, sure, it might not be a problem. But consider this: as an architectural firm, you're probably involved in competitive bids. Would you want all the internal memos regarding the bid for that new shopping center (centre
) going out some unethical competitor? Especially when you found they kept underbidding you by just enough to win
every bid? It's things like that you have to worry about.
