I have a D-Link wireless router - there are options to change from the WEP 128 bit encryption to WPA personal. Would doing this create enough of a wall for most people trying to hack in ?
I think I'd be prefer MAC address filtering, as I understand it both WEP and WPA require some CPU time for the encryption which might be enough to slow down the connection to a slower computer. MAC address filtering is done at the router and should have no effect on connection speed. This thread has got me motivated to figure out how to enable MAC address filtering on my Linksys...
