How secure is MAC Address Filtering?
Hi all,
The question have is that if I have the MAC address filtering turned on, and my laptop is the only node allowed on the wireless router, is there any point in turning on the encryption feature? Does someone have to be able to connect to my router inorder to sniff out my packets, or can they do this regardless because of it being a wireless connection? Also, is it possible for someone to impersonate a MAC address? The reason for asking this question is that I'm optomizing my wireless network for performance, but I need to be sure that I'm protected from outside intruders.
Thanks Doug
