WIFI Security
I thought that with WPA, SSID, MAC, encryption, etc. that WIFI would be fairly secure, but after reading some pages such as this:
Getting Phished: Why SSID Spoofing (Still) Matters - www.wi-fiplanet.com
I'm beginning to have doubts. I'm still waiting on a WIFI adapter to arrive, to complete my WIFI network, but my intent was to have an always on LAN, just for the purpose of giving my secondary computer access to streaming media from the internet, since the location where it shall be does not have a cable outlet. Now, I'm wondering if it is worth the risk?
While I shall continue to use only my primary for online banking and financial transactions, I am wondering if the WIFI needs to be disabled while that is being done? I intend to use RDP or an equivalent program to access the primary from the secondary, but only within the LAN, since I blocked port 3389 to prevent someone on the internet from using it, but that wouldn't stop someone on the WIFI from doing so...would it?
Is it possible to create a truly private ironclad secure WIFI LAN? If so, how?
