A list to only allow certain MAC addresses is a nice addition.
That right there is the strongest security on most "domestic" routers. If you can nail down to a specific MAC address, then you're golden.
Firstly, their are programs to crack WPA encryption. *cough backtrack*
Secondly, MAC addresses could be spoofed.
Thirdly, adding the firewall block doesn't do crap.
Lastly, assigning private IP Addresses doesn't do jack either.
Go back to school.
Trolls like yourself really get on my nerves.
If you're going to help people on the forums, do so. But don't be an ass about it. Offer advice and information and leave it at that.
Configuring a firewall to block ports won't do anything if someone's cracking into your network. It would block your network from even changing information in the router thus messing up the whole configuration.
You really have lots to learn kid. No one here said that a firewall was the only protection on the network. I guess you don't really understand what a firewall is. I don't have the time to type out what its used for, but any smart system administrator knows that a firewall can be penetrated.
Its like your house, why do you bother locking your front door? If I wanted to gain entry, I will. Its the same principle of a firewall, you simply lock the doors you don't need open...but obviously if someone is serious enough to brute force their way into your network, they can. That goes for any security in-place on a network.
As you can see, there's no such thing as 100% fool-proof security. Its just there as a precaution.
