I've never been able to get secure wireless working properly - no matter what the operating system or router, once WEP has been activated (and the correct passkeys entered everywhere), no hardware would communicate with the router.

Instead, I go by MAC address - and yes, I do know it can be spoofed. However the chances of anyone coming along and doing so when I've got it active is pretty remote.

I, personally, have no real problem if someone else used the wireless connection. I check my ISP's usage regularlly anyway, so could always kick them off if need be.

It should be noted that I dont actually use Wireless much - I find it way too slow for gaming, and instead use a 1000Mbps wired network.
