FYI for anyone that doesn't already realize it, but WEP, WPA, PSK, hiding SSID or MAC filtering is all a waste of time. It's all hackable today and it only gives a false sense of security. The best we can do is to encrypt everything or start talking in pig latin to throw off hackers.

As for those security methods being a waste of time, I suppose you don't lock your car. I mean, after all, a rock will get into any car.
