Monday I (FINALLY!!) get cable internet connection. My brother purchased a Linksys Wireless-G WRT54GS router however we wont be using the wireless features for a while. Does anyone have any config or security tips? We currently run ZoneAlarm on your computers for additional protection. I'm new to the world of high speed so please let me know.. Thanks!
 
Enable WEP
Disable broadcasting the SSID
Enable MAC authentication

These are what I do to lock down wireless AP's. If you are hardwired, then there is nothing extra you need to do in the router for that, but I would do the above even though you are not using wireless yet.
 
Run WPA instead of WEP. Buy your client devices accordingly however that is stuff to do once you get client cards. Until then, since your not using the AP, disable the radio.
