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. :)

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.
