Have you secured your wireless network?

I would say so... MAC Filtering will prevent someone from logging into your network, but your data can be easily 'sniffed' in the air...

MAC filtering won't do jack, IMHO. Might stop the basic user from being able to connect if they are trying to use Windows Zero Config or something, but first and foremost, the traffic, no matter how much or little encryption, can be sniffed and sorted. It takes literally ~5 sniffed packets and you can read every MAC/IP on the WAP.

WPA/PSK

my wireless security:

1. Disable SSID broadcast, set SSID to random caps and lowercase
2. Enable WPA security on WAP, using RADIUS authentication against freeRadius
3. strong WPA secret
4. wireless network is on a separate subnet from my wired network and physically separate using ASL
5. no DHCP in wireless zone
6. MAC address filtering on Wireless
7. PPTP VPN to the wired network should I ever need access to filesharing

MAC, WEP 128 and SSID block

anyone trying to abuse my wireless is an idiot since there are at least 2 unprotected networks in my street...
