    I just hooked up a wireless network at home and I am wondering what additional steps I can do to help improve the security on that network. I have a Linksys Wireles G router and am rinning the 128 bit encryption, but that isnt effective untill the routers firewall? But I want to know if there is anything I can do to help the security even more?

    Use WPA instead of WEP
    Use MAC Filtering
    Run AirSnare periodically.
    Last but not least.. Disable SSID broadcasting!
