MAC filtering adds almost nothing to protection but may be a source of
annoyance. Devices may rotate MAC addresses for privacy reasons unless
it is explicitly disabled.
I am second to that WEP, WPA (early variant), WPS should be disabled.
Actually the issue is more serious. Gene can not recall router
password. It is even more severe. Since Chrome stole port 80 on his
machines he can not use any search engine. As a result he has no
chance to discover an OpenWRT article how to reset the password.
FF does not do that particular bit of tomfoolery. And the old router
has been replaced with a more modern version running dd-wrt. Now about
10x faster, I've a gigabit connection now.
