What you're looking for is called 'MAC address filtering' and I |
| 14 |
imagine it is very doable. Having never done it before myself (with a |
| 15 |
Gentoo router) the best I can do is point you at Google and wish you |
| 16 |
the best of luck. |

It's been a little while since I worried about my WPA2 wireless |
| 19 |
getting hacked. Apparently, a vulnerability in TKIP was recently |
| 20 |
discovered that made WPA2 networks using that encryption less secure. |
| 21 |
It would still take a lot of doing on the attacking party's end to do |
| 22 |
it though. Have you considered setting up WPA2 Enterprise, with the |
| 23 |
RADIUS server and whatnot? |
