Wireless LAN Security
Apparently (1:52 to 2:20 in the video) MAC address filtering is even better than having a PSK

I think that's true.
At least WEP can be cracked in minutes, no idea about WPA.
But changing the router password from the default is important too.

I found the video funny because everything he said about wireless security was a total myth! WEP can be cracked in mere seconds, not minutes. WPA can't be cracked as long as your PSK is cryptographically secure and is long enough.
Changing the router password only prevents people who are already on your wireless network from accessing your router. Changing the router password does not prevent people from accessing your wireless network.
MAC address filtering can actually be bypassed a lot easier than you might think

I can't watch the youtube video because of IP ban but i read all the topic and replies.It takes 15 seconds to bypass mac filtering.It takes 5min to 6 hrs to crack WEP keys.IT takes 20hrs to 3-4 days to crack WPA1 keys IF password is not bigger than 7 chars(also a client is needed).If you want something secure put 16 chars pass.THe s.hit thing about wireless is you can sniff the network easily.
