Yep MAC codes is where it is at.

If you ever want to allow another computer/Wii/PS3 to access your wireless network just go back into your router settings and add their MAC codes.

Fooking things, I have just got a new router tonight so I`ve set it up no problem, except when I set up the wep security it stops me from connecting  :idiot2:

Moose:
I do it the same way as Jim (MAC filtering and non-broadcast SSID). Not totally secure, but better than fook all

JT71:
I only have cat5e to my xboxes, so media streams sweet.

wirelss is ok, but i just tried that turning the SSID off and couldn't connect. had to connect to my router with a cable to tunr it back on.  :'(

I have it all password protected too, obviously!  :D

I have had no problem with wireless at all. Until I was updating the firmware on my router and the machine crashed and fried my router. Luckily I backed up my settings, bought a new router and uploaded my original settings and was away again in 5 minutes.

I have my Wii and PS3 set up through my wireless network and they all work fine too.
