Dustin, this is an excellent posting on home wireless network security. It seems that you have covered every facet of the process. One thing that I find amazing is how few people even think to secure their wireless network. So many people love the advantage of having the wireless technology in their home, yet they seem to be oblivious to how easily other people can connect to their network. Once the connection is made, it does not take a lot of skill to gather private information, passwords, bank accounts, etc. from the accessed networks connected devices. Even though people are warned to the danger, I wonder if the "it's not going to happen to me" mentallity keeps them from worrying about security. I also wonder if they think it is just too complex to do themselves. Resources (such as your posting) are available to make securing a home wireless network easier, but I don't think the resources are adequately utilized.
