wireless network security tip please!
Hello,
I have a wireless clearwire modem which i wish to connect to a wireless router for convenience in my house.
I have always been concerned about wireless security, i have looked a little into the wi-fi routers + pcmcia cards and notice that most seem to provide only fixed WEP, is this enough? isn't it better to have dynamic wep key exchange or something? Which routers provide this ? Any advice would be appreciated .

Hello gotvinsanity,
I agree that WEP should be sufficient for home use. If you want to do a little extra, I would suggest that you also restrict by MAC address. Your wireless router should have the ability to say that "only these MAC addresses are allowed wireless access".
