    Personally, I’m using WEP and Mac Filtering for my own wireless router. I’m not using WPA because it slows down performance.

    I know it is easy to hack thru WEP, but the thing is, do I have valuable info that a hacker wants to hack in the first place?
    And also, if a hacker truely want to hack thru my network, whatever security I put is useless as its only a matter of time before they hack thru it.
