It depends on the device you choose for your access point. Some allow you to |
| 8 |
filter MACs, others may not. Sorry I can't help you choose - it seems to be |
| 9 |
hard to find real information before you buy. |

As you say, MACs are supposedly prone to being spoofed. I only say |
| 15 |
"supposedly" because I haven't seen any reports of its happening. Much depends |
| 16 |
on what you perceive the threat to be: are you in a city with any number of |
| 17 |
unknown people passing by daily, or like me in a village where you know your |
| 18 |
neighbours? |

Of course, you'll also have an effective firewall on each machine that can be |
| 21 |
reached from the wireless network. |
