You should do the following to secure you wireless:

1. disable your SSID broadcast
2. make WEP mandatory
3. enable station mac filter

Subject: [PCBUILD] router security

I am running Windows XP and have a Linksys wireless access point router
hooked up so that my husband and myself can access the internet with our
notebooks.  What do I have to do so that nobody in the neighborhood or
sitting outside our house could hook up to my connection?  I would
appreciate any help you might be able to give me.
