jhAtgog: And yes, I totally agree that WPA2-PSK with a long PSK and firmware that is up to date is good enough for a home network.

WinterSnowfall: Make that WPA2-PSK with CCMP (AES). Theoretically, some routers will still allow you to use TKIP or even worse, use it by default - and TKIP is no longer secure. TKIP in conjunction with a weak PSK will get your WiFi network infiltrated in a matter of minutes on commodity hardware (someone with a decent laptop that's in range and can intercept traffic for example).
If your box supports it, sure. Also avoid the so called "mixed mode TKIP/CCMP", if you don't have an ancient client that still needs it.

truhlik: Consider installing openwrt system on your router.
Or DD-WRT... but you can't install those on just any router. Very cool for configurability, but not necessarily more secure, in general.

I'm thinking of replacing my ancient Linksys E2000 with a Linksys WRT3200ACM, maybe next year...
I don't know if I'll install Open/DD-wrt on it, but at least I'll have the option.
