They're all cracked. There is no wireless security.

The funny thing is that they advocate MAC address filtering,... which is nothing to a dedicated hacker to spoof...

We have known these wireless encryption systems are subject to sophisticated intruders for a long time. The question is who do you think you have to lock out? The NSA, not a chance. Most intruders who want to get into a home WPA2-PSK system - much easier to block. Just use a long passphrase and you will block most of them. I use a 52 character phrase and it has worked well. Use a short and lazy one - you are on your own. By the way, have you ever noticed the people who keep trying to scare you about security issues stand to profit if they stampede you? I have.
