[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1045400, member: 145676"] To have a truly secure network you need to not have a a connection to anything - but that is just NSA paranoia. and I digress To have a decently secure network you want to run WPA2 with a strong password - upper and lower case letters, numbers and punctuation. There are brute force attacks that can break dictionary words and simple passwords. The longer the better. I have the PHS 300 - the cool thing about that router is it can run off of battery - I do have a mifi already - but I bought it back when i had a a usb modem. Even still - I can run 16 computers off of the PHS 300 vs the 5 off of the mifi directly. If I were just running at home I would get something with a ethernet port. It has been a great fallback for when my cable modem decides to go down. Good luck and don't forget to report back with what you buy and how it goes. There are quite a few posts here about ad hoc networks. [/QUOTE]
