routers

I have two brothers that would be very interested in this thread. One of them builds the firewalls and what-not for Wells Fargo. The other is paid to hack networks to find and fix their vulnerabilities.

I run a D-Link in my basement, which helps limit range to the house, along with an incredibly random WEP key. I keep all of my computers up to date with anti-virus, firewall, and anti-spam, etc. Oh yeah, I also live in a small quiet town where the likelihood of a malicious hacker parking in my driveway is very small to begin with. :-)

Oh yeah, if you are broadcasting your SSID, it's useful to name it something that won't point directly to your house/family. I named my wireless network "default" for example.
