1 IS WPA. That's the whole point.

I meant that enabling encryption is only effective with WPA. WEP has been proven insecure and easily broken.

And, properly implemented, WPA (or WPA-PSK to be more accurate) is effective against all hacking attempts. Whilst theoretically possible to crack, it would take milllions of years (and more) to break the encryption.

I don't know much about WPA, but from what I've heard it's what WEP was supposed to be -- actually secure. If what you're saying is right, then all the better.

So, yes... "all be impossible" is correct.

Yes, assuming you have WPA.

And something most people tend to forget is that 99.99% of "hacking" attacks on home wireless networks are simply opportunistic exploits of poorly secured access points. That's where steps 2 to 8 come in.

Right. I didn't mean that you shouldn't do these things. That would be like leaving your front door unlocked with a list of your valuables taped to it just because
somebody could pick the lock and find your stuff. Just that 2-8 won't stop anyone serious, and 1 won't either if it's WEP instead of WPA.
