[QUOTE="miso, post: 473033, member: 34309"] I'd recommend the opposite :Oops: Turning off the SSID broadcasting just means its more tricky for your computer to maintain a link with your router - networks can be sniffed in seconds whether you're broadcasting or not. MAC filter adds nothing to your security - it too can be sniffed easily. Use WPA2 encryption and limit the number of IP address your router leases. Anything else is pointless, frankly. [/QUOTE]
