agree on the feature request. i'm surprised that mac filtering and ssid hiding are no help - i realize mac addresses can be spoofed, but that would stop more casual snoopers, no? as for ssid hiding, i think it occasionally makes my wireless pc's flaky, but why less secure - does it require more frequent traffic between the router and pc, which could be snooped? -- rov ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rov's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10787 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55229 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
