And, of course, the wireless security you could use will depend upon the capability of the router. For example, the Linksys WRT54G is capable of being set up to use a RADIUS server for authorizing access which means that you could have your own RADIUS server set up behind the network to control access to the network and with proper setup and practices it would take a lot of work for a hacker to use/penetrate your network. As far as WEP, WPA WPA2 etc - those are only encryptions they do not control access. The MAC filtering means that only specified machines would be allowed access - for example only your laptop and nobody else
