Would it actually make a difference though?  |
sure you can as already said,"will it make a difference" again Yes, but not in the way you think....especially on the likes of the VM supplyed cutdown WGR614v9 with its mere 200Mhz CPU.
i notice that while everyones so concerned about their VERY local security, no ones mentioned the fact all the VM supplyed routers indeed most so called home wireless routers internal CPU's are VERY weak and slow today, the more security you ask them to perform, the slower your wireless router thoughput is likely to get....
are you really so concerned that mary ,pete,jason and june and the kids next door eather side, can IF they bothered to learn how, actually had the right wireless hardware, and required software, and actually go to the trouble of trying to potentially break even your common wep "Long passwords" that your ready to potentially slow your wireless router kit down to a far lower data rate throughput 24/7!
these people are probably so close to you anyway that they can hear you giving your other half the new password.
from that community perspective, you,mary ,pete,jason and june and the kids next door eather side, would be far better sharing your wireless LANs to WAN connections to better share the collective data throughput and storage costs for all etc.....
