What makes you think your WPA key is likely to get hacked?
As I'm reading it, if you use a long random password & unique SSID WPA
is quite secure.
It should be possible to implement WPA2 on a Linux-based AP. I would
use 64 random hex digits for your PSK & stop worrying about it.
MAC address filtering is worthless. I would install a DHCP server &
save yourself the hassle of setting IP addresses on any devices that
are used elsewhere. Anyone who breaks WPA (which I consider extremely
unlikely assuming the criteria I've described) is not going to be
troubled by such measures.
Stroller.
