[QUOTE="SoaringDodo, post: 1029000, member: 149064"] You've done a fantastic job of locking down your system. The biggest key was to use WPA2. Unless you're running a radius server, then you are using WPA2 personal. It's optional to turn your SSID off and put MAC filtering in place but they are a couple of additional layers to ward off anyone snooping. If you live in an area where you and your neighbors are separated by any distance (e.g. the 'burbs) then you can leave the SSID on so that visiting friends and family can connect to your wireless more easily. Also, some devices have issues with manually entering the SSID and don't always grab onto it but, they are few and far between these days. Make absolutely sure that your passphrase is not something that can be found in the dictionary. Ideally, it should contain uppercase/lowercase/numeral/symbol combinations. Also, make sure the router's admin password is also a strong password. Again, you've done a great job. [/QUOTE]
