Excellent question concerning wireless security. I know when I set up my wireless LAN I was all concerned about security but now that I think about it I don't believe I did anything too special to prevent intrusion via the wireless access.

I've adequate protection (I think) for preventing intrusion from the internet. Like hardware and sortware firewalls but I'm sure there is much more that can be done.

I do not keep any financial or personal data on my pc's but my wife has reports on the pc's that contain confidential information about others.

Any advice from knowledgable FReepers is appreciated.

Knowledge is power.

The link takes to you a TechTV article about 'airsnare,' software that will tell you when unauthorized persons are using your wifi access point.
