"WEP is useless from a security standpoint, but at least it clearly delineates a moral line being crossed"

Very true. Though WEP is ineffective from a security standpoint, it at least provides a hurdle that someone has to deliberately jump through to prove malicious intent on the part of the unauthorized user accessing the network.

What about "masking" the network? You know, on the principle if users can't readily see it, they can't use it.

Verizon routers allow that upon setup. I'm not a security expert, so I don't know how effective this is (or not).
