Newbie and security protocols
I keep hearing/reading that one should use WEP encryption or higher. I have a D-LINK 524 Wireless Router and broadband. I am currently using MAC address filtering. I live in a hi-rise building. Only a few users or wireless access points appear nearby. I have my antennae stength at low (12%).
Should I be concerned with security or someone "sniffing" my packets? I choose to use MAC address filtering because I get better speeds with my broadband connection than using WEP. Nobody ever mentions why one should NOT use MAC filtering.
Thanks M
