@Tweekz8up365 On the whole secure everything that can possibly be secured. Including wired connections. Why take the risk? Second, if you do setup a wifi connection at home use WPA or WPA2 security keys. WEP is a joke for security because nowadays anyone can hack a WEP pass-phrase or password in under 10 minutes. Hope this helped. =]

Hmm, any geek out there aware of a way to prevent certain mac addresses from getting an IP from my DIR-655 router? Got some hackers in the neighbor hood who manage to crack my 36 random character long WPA2-personal encryption key. Tried access control, not sure if it's working cause I keep seeing their MAC addresses make their way into my MAC filter list.
