Yep, That's how I also do my wireless setups. Change the SSID, no broadcast, MAC address filtering, and I also change the channel since everyone mostly seems to just leave them on channel 6.. :)
If someone wanted to bad enuff, they could still get in, but I have not had any issues yet. :) -- JRS [email protected] Facts do not cease to exist just because they are ignored. ________________________________ From: Gary Jackson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 7:01:06 AM Subject: Re: [H] MAC Address Filter Two tips I have always heard for *wireless* networks, 1) Turn off SSID broadcasting and use a unique SSID. 2) If you have a static network ( meaning that you are not adding and deleting a lot of devices ) use Mac Address Filtering. As a former Network Admin, I have not encountered the use of Mac Address Filtering as a security method for wired networks, probably because keeping it up to date would be more of a pain then it is worth. If you have disabled the wireless side of your router, I don't think you need to worry about it as it isn't accessible. Regards.....Gary
