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
