I'm no expert but I would say it depends on what you send across the connection. If you're doing online banking or sending stuff you wouldn't want snooped then I'd enable all of the double super secret encryption that some were talking about last week. One additional step you could take that's easy is to enable MAC filtering. Find out the MAC addresses of the wireless cards you want to access your router and then add them to the "allow only" list. If you don't know the MACs, you can probably find out via your wireless router: when all of the computers are connected, look through the routers web admin screens and something there should tell you who's connected. Just note the MAC addresses of the PCs and then add them MAC filtering. One additional step you could take is to turn on Personal WPA encryption (PSK) or WEP. WPA-PSK is supposed to be better than WEP, but I still haven't figured out if that's true. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:137376 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
