techie tsikoteers, need your help- setting up a wireless home network

[ian_rex]

finally. i was able to set-up my own wireless home network. i got the netgear mr814v2. 11MBps lang pero, ang lakas nya ha. can even connect outside the house- even across the street.

my problem is, how do i make my connection secure? i mean, having the wireless network in my house, has turned my area as a 'hotspot'. luckily, wala pang nakaka-alam sa mga neighbors ko...

right now, i'm still working to make my network secure. at the moment, i've setup the MAC address for my notebook, which only my notebook would be able to connect to my network. sabi ng netgear, secure na daw yung device kasi 2 firewall na raw, isang SPI at isang NAT. SPI works as a gatekeeper while NAT hides my home network. sabi ng netgear, di raw advisable ang WPA.how true is this?

sir afrasay, may effect daw yung 2.4 GHz na cordless. but your router will work alright even in two storey structure. just make sure, you place the wireless router in a high place so you could take advantage of the signal.

anyways, here's a link for my netgear wifi wireless router: http://www.netgear.com/Products/Rout...ers/MR814.aspx

i think its good and provides better value for money.
