I have spent a while re-setting my router to factory defaults as I'd forgotten my user name & password - DUH!
Anyway - it's up and running again and I've changed the router default user name & password, changed the network SSID, changed the WPA password and set up both our laptops & the wireless printer on the new network.
I'm considering limiting the wireless access to devices with specific MAC addresses, i.e the two laptops & the printer.
All that should pretty much make it difficult, if not impossible (maybe!) for "drive-by" access to our wireless network, but the question is - Is restricting by MAC address a bit OTT?
It will be a faff when family visitors want to use our wireless facility, as I'll have to get their devices MAC addresses and enter them into our router.
(A LOT, if 2X kids are here with a laptop each, my daughter & her husband are here with their iPhones and laptops)
