Make sure to use encryption. Encryption is NOT to keep your data safe,
nothing can do that. If someone is intent on accessing your network, WEP
encryption will not keep them out.

True, but the ones that use the dynamic encryption can do a reasonably
good job along with a firewall and router. The golden rule is
"Nothing is bullet proof"

Not even in the same universe -- WEP is easily cracked in minutes,
little more than the Emperor's new clothes. Use WPA with a strong
passphrase for any real security.

One of the locals mentioned doing a bit of "war driving" around town
just for curiosity. About 80 to 90% of the networks heard were
unencrypted AND over half of those _still_used_
the_default_name_and_PW.

Yep ... really bad ... shame on the wireless hardware companies!

I use hard wired Cat5e in a gigabit network as with the amount of
traffic wireless is just too slow even if it is full duplex.

Wi-Fi is half duplex.
