Hi all!

For certain reasons I currently can not implement neither WAP nor WPA
on the wireless network here.

How safe is a combo of not broadcasting the SSID & MAC-address

I finally got the WPA PSK working on my Linksys, you have to be patient with it as it seems very tempermental to set up. Infact the settings don't seem to work instantly, it may take a couple of minutes.
