Not conceivably.... it's very easy to do. HOWEVER I still recommend doing the MAC filtering, along with not broadcast the SSID, and enabling WPA (or WEP if you can't do WAP).
Wireless is actually not very difficult to get into, even with all that set up (Yes WPA is breakable too). But, considering your home is a small time target, and there are plenty of un-protected WAP's out there... general rule for home use... make it hard enough that the script kiddies can't get in, and that the pro's won't waste their time. |
