Are both nevessary? I would think that the MAC filter alone would be enough but since I am not very well versed in these things.....I thought I would run it by a few of you highschool kids.

The enviroment I come from works with the belief that if you want to insure the security of the information on your network, avoid using wireless.
With that said, if you insist on using wireless, make your network more of a challenge for the random hacker to give up wanting to access your network and find an easier mark.
