[thelist] [OT] Home wireless networking

[Norman Bunn]

Oh, the joys of living in a small town (pop 10,000)  where they barely know
there is an Internet, much less wireless LANs.  No, I have not gone the MAC
address route, but do use 128 bit security, just in case.  I also limit the
IP address range on the router.
