Just unplugging the thing when you`re not using it is probably your best bet but i`d still want to know if someone was seeing the WEP connection and opting to have a go so i`d certainly keep an eye on things when it was being used.
You already realize that if you did have some determined wireless cracking neighbour then all the hiding of SSID`s and limiting of Mac addresses will make absolutely no difference whatsoever. It`ll just take them 30 seconds longer. |
Yeah, I actually realized that it WAS plugged in LAN port to LAN port, but it was my laptop that was reporting no connection. When I tried on my iPod and DS itself, it worked! Very weird. So I probably had it working straight away, without realizing.
And also, I agree with you 100% about keeping an eye on the connection when I'm using it. Is there a way to do this? As it should be relatively easy to see if anything other than my DS has connected, surely. Some software, maybe?
And one more question (I'm so needy :P) - IF someone managed to hack into the WEP router, how exactly would that screw me over? Would they then have full access to the WPA2 connection and everything on it? And would they still be able to access my internet even when the WEP router is unplugged? And is there some way to avoid this problem?
