    i'd also enable mac filtering and make sure the default user name (probably admin) and password are changed to something stronger. all that with the steps you already took should be more than enough. To keep out most unwanteds

    edit : i dont think you can the admin user name from the router interface

    If your using WPA there is prob no need to disable SSID broadcast, WPA isn't simple to crack like WEP is...

    How do i enable mac filter and where is the default username and password? Eircom@eircom.net is the username on the router, I do not see password

    ?

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb726942.aspx#EBAA appears to say that not broadcasting ssid is of no use

    Thanks
