I have a wireless router that uses WEP security for the wireless connection. I'm wondering if WEP's security issues could somehow make the wired connections from the same router insecure. For example, could someone sniff the password to gain access to the router and from there to my Mac?
What does WEP's insecurity allow unscrupulous people to do? Just read the traffic between the TiVo and router? Or something more than that?
TiVo supports only WEP encryption, so I have to use it. My Mac and PC are both connected to the same router with ethernet cables.
Also, can I do more to secure the wireless connection? Here's what I've done: Diable SSID broadcast, Restrict access to only the TiVo's and Mac's MAC addresses, and Set the WEP password to 128-bit 26 hex digits. AirPort is almost always off on the Mac.
