Changed the SSID to something obscure (I used a Japanese word written in bad english plus some numbers, and it gets changed every week)
2. Turned off SSID broadcast
3. Disabled Secure Easy Setup
4. Enabled WPA and used a randomly generated passphrase (which is a jumble of numbers and letters over 10 characters long, and gets changed every week)
5. Enabled MAC Address Filtering (I have 2 Linksys Wirless NIC's, one for each of my 2 notebooks, and the WRT54G will only accept the MAC addresses of those two NICs).
That way no one's going to use my WAP without my permssion and it's physically impossible to break in, unless someone has a really sophisticated hacking machine that does some really powerful cryptographic attacks (which would be illegal of course, since it would violate the DMCA or other applicable law against cracking secured/encrypted stuff).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Wheres-the-common-sense-here-15665971 Sat, 11 Mar 2006 23:56:30 EDT
