Interestingly enough, I did have an intruder a few months ago. They didn't get very far but it could be they were just browsing. I live in an old neighborhood in a very safe town.
For the same reason I have a home alarm, loud little dog, and implements of personal protection, I prefer to be a bit more secure than the minimum. Any ideas on the merits of a radius server (I found an interesting freeware version that will run on Windows Server 2003, which I understand is the basis for Windows Home server) vs. a newer router?
