I have a Rogers-supplied router and cable modem package, which twice has shown significant usage when I was out, once with the original unit and once with their replacement Cisco.

What's a good approach? I have considered
* MAC address lists, * no wi-fi (strictly wired doesn't work with solid concrete walls), * a second router with a more secure protocol (/is/ there such a protocol? And will my wife's Mac speak it?)) * something I haven't thought of

I've set up MAC address lists, after a surprising number of reboots to unwedge the router (did I even mention I hate flaky PC-style software?). How can my hacker avoid them? Wait until my wife's Mac drops off-line and steal her MAC? --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.
