MAC filter is useless, non SSID broadcast is also useless. The only way to secure a wireless network is, - Use Wires instead - WPA2-TLS As technology improves so do the replies to the thread.

The only way to secure a wireless network is,

- Use Wires instead

However, setting up WPA(Wireless Protection Access) isn't the best security for your network. To get a good/solid protection as far as encryption then I recommend using AES(Advance Encryption Security); it weaves your password through an Algorithm about 7-8 times making it extremely painful for hackers to figure out. Also, recommend, turning off your remote access, encryption your telnet and line console 0. I agree with you mostly Billybob, MAC Filter is a weak, and easy to evade protection for your network.
