Filtering by Mac address?

[JPnyc]

Is this the most secure way of locking down to a wireless router in everyone's opinion?

Not really. Very easy to listen for a mac address that is allowed and then spoof your mac address to gain access. Use WPA/WPA2 and use a mac address filter list.

Also, dont use WEP. It's plain text and as such trivial to break.

I would use WPA2 with mac filer and max 63 characters key, you can use this site to generate random keys.

Its good idea to stop SSID broadcast.
