I recently installed a wireless router and am only using mac address filtering for security. Is it enough? Seems like it would be since it will only allow mac addresses from my exception list to access the network.

Should I enable encryption as well?

Anyone?

No. A sophisticated hacker can read the MAC addresses being transmitted in the non-encrypted traffic. Should I enable encryption as well?

Abosultely. Even if you didn't care about other people using your network, you don't want everything you send to be "in the clear" for anyone to potentially read. That's anything with a password, credit card, etc.

Your MAC address is included in every single packet you send out over the airwaves, so someone who's sniffing you knows your MAC address immediately.

MAC address filtering will only keep out honest people.
