ok i just changed the ssid on my router & disabled broadcasting, my wife's mac just needed the same id & she can get on. is this fine for basic security? or should i do a ton more?
i just dont want to have to goof with her laptop every time i experament on changing a setting. but if it saves me grief down the line then i will... so right now no one can hope on my connection with out the ssid, right?
