thinking of using the wireless card i have for the laptop as all the cables are begining to piss me off something chronic, question is how often do you or should you set any router to change the key, at the moment its at 3600 which is every hour and its using wpa2 and a 10 digit code using numbers and letters.
I have it set to not broadcast the ssid - use staic ips, and allow cards by mac only (i know you could get round this if you really wanted too), only down side is i beleave 801.1g routers do a radius of 149metres/feet, which is the only thing putting me off atm, there are a few other wireless networks near me, all secured, but the router is near a window at the back of the house (only place for it) and a drive by isnt likely to happen up this quiete street, but still i am unsure of it.
What do you lot think? so i go for it or stick with wired?
