lan security.

i plan to leave a wireless ap (router) open for anyone who wants to connect and play me at network games while im away at a college course (there not much else to do in the evenings) now its not going to be connected to the internet or anything

just my computer, my mates computer and anyone else in range who wishes to join in.

now my pc is firewalled and has antivirus so hopefully that will keep people from doing things they shouldnt...


is there anything else i should do to keep my laptop safe? (apart form encypt the network becuase that would defy the point)

also is the router itself in any danger? < even if someone did somehow guess my password for it could they do any damage to it?
