I've been connecting my google nexus 7 tablet to my wireless router |
| 2 |
using the standard ssid/password method until last week, when I found |
| 3 |
that my router will allow wireless connections based on the tablet's |
| 4 |
MAC address. |

What I don't know is whether the MAC-address authentication method |
| 7 |
will cause the wireless router to skip the password authentication |
| 8 |
entirely and accept the MAC address as 100% sole proof of identity. |

I've heard that MAC address spoofing is easy given the right skills, |
| 11 |
so I don't know if relying solely on MAC address for authentication |
| 12 |
is asking for trouble, or not. |

Your opinions are most welcome, the more paranoid the better :) |
