hello guys, I have a question.. how to protect a wifi network from being hacked. I have WPA2 enabled with a strong key but I havent set MAC filtering yet and will enable it soon..
Are these two enough ? I do have filesharing enabled for some folders but not for personal data. I really need file sharing most of the time. I got this question on my mind cause two additional wifi network from my neighbourhood poped up in my wifi manager :p .. one was protected and the other unprotected.. I wont hack into those two network :p .. are we safe in this wireless world? :confused:

currently wpa2 is the strongest... mac filtering is one step ahead.. as long as you don't reveal your mac address you are safe. rest assured :)
