WEP? Seriously? I thought we were past the Stone Age of wireless security. That's like using a paperclip to secure Fort Knox.

MAC filtering? Isn't that like trying to keep a door locked while leaving the windows wide open?

Yeah, MAC filtering alone isn't enough. WPA encryption is a must.

WPA encryption is definitely the way to go! Much more secure than that outdated WEP option.
