You can restrict by MAC address, and disable ESSID broadcast. Should
slow 'em down.

Not by much, apparently. There's a tool you can download that will show
you all the available SSIDs, including "hidden" ones, and MAC spoofing is
passe.


Will turning off DHCP and restricting allowable IP addresses do any
good?
