with the rate of increase in identity theft, I would take it seriously. Why risk having someone hack the home network and try to install a keylogger remotely? What about at your parents home, or family members who may not be as computer savvy?

I've seen guys post the "my daughter could do it" response, but really, where do you people live that you are that paranoid about your home network? I am NOT suggesting that you leave it open, but I'll be shocked if someone doesn't suggest that you run out and buy a new router so you'll be "safe". I'm just wondering, safe from whom?

It's fast enough and works fine so i'm reluctant to trash it unless I have to. I have Windows Home Server, and several XP Pro computers. My question - should I set up a radius server - does a radius server and WPA Enterprise offer enough additional protection to be worth the hassle of setting up a Radius Server - on my Windows Home Server box or go out an buy a newer router? If a newer router, any recommendations? TIA!
