I agree with Network. For our organizations wireless traffic we run it inside of a VPN. That will take care of all security issues regarding sniffing. This is cost justifiable in a bussiness setting but is a little much home use. I feel that 128 bit WEP for home is probably sufficient.

Another alternative that is becoming avaiable with 802.11a is frequency hopping. The advantage is it is VERY hard to sniff. The downside is it requires equipment from the same vendor as the technology is propiatary to the vendor.

Other things you can do that don't cost anything...

Configure your AP to not broad cast your SSID

Some AP's allow you to configure specific MAC addresses for access

CHANGE THE DEFAULT PASSWORDS !!!


Good Luck
