The default config for a LinkSys wireless router is totaly insecure.
I just started using WLAN tonight (Linksys BEFW11S4), and have configured WEP (128-bit). I looked at MAC Filtering briefly tonight, but have put it on the back burner. Any thoughts or highlights? Is it as simple as entering the wireless MAC address and saying "only him"?

I realize I need to RTFM, and plan on doing that, but your comment hit me at just the right time [img]smile.gif[/img]
