[QUOTE="PoloMint, post: 400356, member: 175235"] Yea MAC filtering is a good idea with WPA or WEP (or even if the network has no encryption) as is hiding the SSID. But MAC filtering and hidden SSID often give a false sense of security. Cloning a MAC is not hard, and if someone has grabbed enough info to break the WEP then they will have found at least one approved MAC which they can use. Hiding the SSID does little more than stopping the neighbours stumbling across the network name by accident. [/QUOTE]
