[QUOTE="RingXero, post: 260040, member: 109"] I won't say that wireless is a perfect solution, or a great one, as it depends entirely upon the environment, but I will say that the security of the system depends upon the user to set it up correctly. almost every setup procedure/install for wireless routers/nics informs you how to set up WEP. It's extremely easy to do, and there is plenty of info out there on how to do so, wireless (802.11b) got a bad rep mostly from the majority of buisness and people who set it up did not set up wep. Then again, if you don't monitor your network, someone could set themselves up on your front yard and as long as your signal is strong try and break the WEP encryption. But you will either (a) notice man holding a 'Pringles' can antennae pointed at your house and shoo them away, or (b) say 'cool' and make a longer WEP key. I prefer wired, and if possible go with CAT6 (which is rated to 1000Mbs) Granted you won't be going that fast unless you get the rather expensive nics, but it does set you up for the future if you need it. The Linksys routers are nice for price/performance and ease of setup. RX [/QUOTE]
