[tlug] Securing a WLAN-Router



Hi!
In some days I will get a DSL-connection and because of making the 
contract I got a WLAN-router. In spite of having a flat I do not want to 
have the next hotspot in berlin ;)
What's the best to secure the thing?
I did the following:

1. Changing the standard admin-pass ;)
2. The network will be hidden (so it will be not seen if you do not use 
special tools)
3. 128-WEP-encryption (WPA caused some errors thus I used WEP - neither 
got a connection with mac os x nor with win xp - and my linux computer 
has no wlan)
4. MAC-filtering
5. Living ca. 10 m above the street and have walls which have a very 
good shielding ;)

Any other things I should look out for in the admin-software of the router?

Thanks in advcance

Niels

P.s.: To all who join the nomikai at the 10th - have fun, would like to 
join it if I would be in Tokyo
