It`s been said many times before but hiding & restricting Mac addresses etc is completely pointless if you
do have some naughty neighbour determined to access your network.
The WPA/2 with as long and complicated a password as possible is about the only thing stopping a determined piggybacker. The rest is probably as much use as WEP and that`s about as useful as a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

I can still empathise with many of those who dont have a clue but when they`ve used computers and internet for years & years though then they need the proverbial slap with a big wet fish.
