Enhanced Linksys wireless security

["Gideon T. Rasmussen, CISSP, CISM, CFSO, SCSA" <lists () INFOSTRUCT NET>]

Linksys has updated the firmware for the Linksys G router (WRT54G) to
include AES and TKIP encryption. I am using TKIP because it changes
encryption keys at a configurable period. Locking down access by MAC
address provides additional security.

I found this a pleasant surprise because I bought my router over a year
ago. Other Linksys hardware may have been updated to include similar
functionality.

Kind regards,
