[QUOTE="Zorro, post: 859372, member: 80312"] Filtering by MAC address is inconvenient if you often receive a large number of guests. If this is not the case and the number of devices is stable, then filtering will not hurt. Yes, this protection is easy enough to get around, but few inexperienced crackers will guess :) As for hiding the SSID, really such a measure will save only from completely novice "hackers" who do not have special equipment and software, and they try to pick out only those networks that Windows shows them, that which is visible to the naked eye :) But also this is enough to protect against the kids :) The main thing is to protect yourself from listening to the network and protect the settings of the router, if the hacker still penetrated. And for this, you have a tight binding by IP and MAC, and https for entering the admin panel (and also for connections in general), and network segmentation. A lot of things, the main thing is not to be lazy to set up. Even replacing the username and password in the administrative panel, as well as replacing the standard IP address and port of the router, will already help from scanning with special hacker programs. But how many users do these settings? Usually, the Internet cable was poked into the router, the Internet is there - and nothing else is needed :) [/QUOTE]
