Clarification of wireless router encryption.

[Sargeras]

I've setup my Linksys WRT54G for wireless so I can use my work laptop and iPhone on my home LAN.

Since I'm still getting into the whole network encryption thing, I've set it up like so:

Security Mode: WPA2 Personal
WPA Algorithms: TKIP+AES
WPA Shared Key: <random 16 digit key that I know>

I also have the MAC filter setup to only accept connections from the MAC addresses of my work laptop and my iPhone, and the DHCP leasing only allows 4 addresses to be active (my 2 computers, work laptop, iphone).

So, I'm pretty much set right? I know if someone knows what they're doing, they can sniff the traffic and spoof a MAC address when it's broadcast for connection, but with 3 open LAN's in this complex I don't think I have too much to worry about. I guess I'm just paranoid and want to be sure I got everything I can covered.

You don't have to swim faster than the shark, you just have to swim faster than the other guy.

I think you're good to go... I wouldn't be worried about someone going through the trouble of spoofing a MAC to get some free internets.
