I have a Rogers-supplied router and cable modem package, which twice

the term "schemes" advisedly: they used to horribly leaky (;-))
What's a good approach? I have considered
* MAC address lists,
* no wi-fi (strictly wired doesn't work with solid concrete walls),
* a second router with a more secure protocol (/is/ there such a
protocol? And will my wife's Mac speak it?))
* something I haven't thought of

I've set up MAC address lists, after a surprising number of reboots to
unwedge the router (did I even mention I hate flaky PC-style software?).
How can my hacker avoid them? Wait until my wife's Mac drops off-line
and steal her MAC?
