I have recently setup a wireless network with my laptop and 3 desktops. At
present I have no security on my network. Can someone advise me what
security I need to setup on my network?
Thanks

Mr T

The best thing to do is enable MAC address filtering on the access point.
Add the MAC addresses of the wireless networkcards. This will make it much
