Yup that's true and no plans for anything else.

I use WPA2/AES and where I am that's sufficient. Thinking about getting the Belkin N1 Vision now the price is dropping (currently use Belkin) as the display on the device can indicate misuse.

Folk in higher density population areas have more of an issue.

The problem is that the more secure a system is the harder to set it up and so more likely to be not used or misconfigured to make life easy.

I'd like to unbridge all the LAN side so it can run on different networks and set the network masks to only allow limited IP addresses on each. Minimum useful would be 4 (1 for router, 2 for devices and 1 for broadcast). That could limit possibilities for external sources to hack.

Or maybe depeneding on your requirments some form of induction loop system to only have the wireless within your property. (No good if wanting to use in garden unless can run loop to enclose that too.)
