How to completely secure my WRT54G?

[NleahciM]

Hi - can anyone please give me some advice on how to completely get my WRT54G (running the latest sveasoft firmware) 100% secure? I was thinking about WEP + mac filtering? But I've heard of other things as well - so I'm not sure what is best.

edit: I forgot to mention that I was thinking I'd turn of SSID broadcasting as well.

wireless and 100% secure is not gonna happen. Your best bet would be WPA, its way better than wep, but still not 100%

use the newer security mode. radius or whatever. wep is never totally secure. course ifu do need wep, wep + a good passphrase generator... use a fake word with numbers and stuff that is not vulnerable to dictionary attacks... 64-128bit wep..mac filtering. no ssid broadcast..thats about as secure as any home really needs to be. unless ur neighbors are uber haxor kiddies u know? even at 64bit they'd have to sit around outside for like a week gathering packets to try hacking u. unless they know other techniques which do exist, but doubtful.

Complete security can be achieved by not using it.:thumbsdown:

Otherwise:
Link: Wireless Security for the Home User.

Plus the use of RADIUS Server:

RADIUS is available for few platforms; you have to choose the one that goes with whatever your Office Server system is based on.

Part I covers the General: Using RADIUS For WLAN Authentication, Part I

Part II has information that is also platform related: Using RADIUS For WLAN Authentication, Part II
