    Also i wanted to add that most people run WRT54g linksys router, the best thing i can say is go with DDWRT firmware, gives LOADS of features that most people will probably never use.

    @mewrox99 I agree, i always setup WPA2 and mac filter, i run alot of wireless stuff so hiding doesnt work in my case.

    Its too easy to spoof MAC’s, also WEP is easily cracked, would not suggest it either.

    Remember MAC Addresses can be spoofed. But hiding the SSID, WPA2, and MAC filtering is usually more than enough to stop the script kiddie next door

    MAC filter can work because you need to know the exact MAC address that is open and if the computers are turned on, there will be no MAC addresses available.

    MAC filter sucks, you can spoof a client’s alreddy allowed,.

    good security;

    1.Enable WPA (NEVER WEP, and chose a wpa key 10-20 dig long, and make sure it’s not a word you would find in a dictionary)

    2. dissable SSID broadcast

    3. change the default SSID

    MAC filtering, …
    MAC filtering, disabling SSID broadcast, and removing your router’s antennae stay amongst the top and best performing implementations to prevent your tech-ignorant neighbor from downloading movies over your internet connection, period. 95% of the posters here wouldn’t even know where to start to identify/spoof an authenticated MAC address, much less understand what happens when there are conflicting MAC and IP addresses, and less so know what specific packets to listen.

    The two most worthless wireless security measures. I wish these myths would die.

    MAC filtering is COMPLETELY worthless. Very easy to fool MAC filters.

    Chris has a lot to learn about wireless security.

    Hidden SSIDs are also worthless.

    Use WPA or WPA2 with a long pass phrase with symbols, capital and lower case letters.

    Well, actually you …
    Well, actually you can also change a MAC adress of your PC Wireless device…

    So you can scan a network for MAC adresses, choose one that is authorized and type it into yours. Then access will be granted.

    The most important thing in security is that there is no such thing as being totally secure (unless of course your computer is not connected to the outside world at all). All these security measures are what we call Defense in Depth. They allow different layers of security to make it difficult (but not impossible) to break into. So any security measure is better than nothing, even WEP because chances are most people won’t know how to break it, unless they’re into security and such.

    No. MAC isn’t an IP. A MAC address is a unique number that is used for wireless cards. A MAC address never changes, unless you “spoof” it. Spoofing a MAC address is not hard at all. (Even my WRT54GL router can do it… with the default firmware)
