WPA2 with AES, not TKIP is probably the safest bet right now...

+1 but I'm still amazed how many folks out there have completely unsecured wireless networks, especially small businesses.

Hahaha, I love your new picture. I made one for you, albeit not as sophisticated. I hope you like it.

So much for the new WPA wireless encryption....-post_26330_1238852987_thumb.jpg

Anyway, one of the best things people can do is to set their router to NOT broadcast its existence.

I'm no expert but I think all the WPA/WPA2 keys rotate once an association with an AP is made but you still need one passcode to make the association. If the passcode rotated, how would you know what it is to make the initial association?
