Re: [XP Pro] Setting WPA2?

Well I have a netgear router and I use WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES].

I have disabled the broadcasting of the SSID but I also limited the amount of computers connecting to the router by restricting the ip range to just three computers. I also added address reservation based on the mac addresses so that only the computers with the mac addresses will get the one of the three ip's available.

That is about as secure as I get....

But I also live in the country and on 15 acres and if someone war driving can get signal from the street in front of my house then have at it but stay still long enough for me to squeeze off this round. >:)

On the scale of security effectiveness, WPA compared with MAC addr. filtering and SSID broadcast OFF is ....

...SSID off...MAC filter................................................................................WPA.
