I have a Rogers-supplied router and cable modem package, which twice has
shown significant usage when I was out, once with the original unit and
once with their replacement Cisco. That makes me suspicious of the
current state of authentication for wi-fi schemes (and I use the term
"schemes" advisedly: they used to horribly leaky (;-))
What's a good approach? I have considered
* MAC address lists,
* no wi-fi (strictly wired doesn't work with solid concrete walls),
* a second router with a more secure protocol (/is/ there such a
protocol? And will my wife's Mac speak it?))
* something I haven't thought of

[The usage never runs me over my limit: I think someone is using me for
downloads that might put /them/ over their limit]
