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,

Gideon
