My daughter has a roommate and was told by her that she cannot have wireless
because of security concerns:

There would be two machines, my daughter's wireless laptop and her
roommate's ethernet connected laptop - both to a wireless router to cable
modem. Question is, because of wireless signal, can the ethernet laptop be
compromised?
I know you can get into a wireless router but if security is turned on can
you breach the wireless wall and get over to the other computer via the
ethernet on the router hub
Thanks
