What makes you think your WPA key is likely to get hacked? |

As I'm reading it, if you use a long random password & unique SSID WPA |
| 10 |
is quite secure. |

It should be possible to implement WPA2 on a Linux-based AP. I would |
| 13 |
use 64 random hex digits for your PSK & stop worrying about it. |

MAC address filtering is worthless. I would install a DHCP server & |
| 16 |
save yourself the hassle of setting IP addresses on any devices that |
| 17 |
are used elsewhere. Anyone who breaks WPA (which I consider extremely |
| 18 |
unlikely assuming the criteria I've described) is not going to be |
| 19 |
troubled by such measures. |
