Password is a strong one, remote admin is indeed turned off and I do
check every once in awhile for firmware updates.

I did not provide sufficient info on my setup. Here it is.
DSL modem connected to the wired Linksys router.
Linksys connected to my G5 iMac via ethernet cable AND connected to my
ancient Graphite Apple Base Station which in turns links our two laptops in
a small home network.
I checked out the ABS and found under the Access Control Tab's sub tab
AirPort ID, I have entered the AirPort ID number of each of my two iBooks.
Tell me...am I good to go, security-wise?
