I understand that MAC filtering and disableing broadcast is a waste of time.

But... it is one more layer.

Just one more "road block". The more of a pain it is for them... they might just go attack someone elses AP? Maybe not... it might just make them go at it more because its more of a challenge? Dunno...

For home, its all a bit overkill for me. I only have a cople of WIFI devices. Pocket PC and my laptop. Everything else is wired. I have the AP hooked to a light switch. When I need it, I just flip it on. Turn it off when I'm done.

BTW: Thanks for changing the title. I tried to do it myself but it wouldn't change.
