- don't broadcast SSID


A waste of time.

- only allow connections from PCs with specific MAC addresses (listed)


Not only a waste of time but superfluous.

MAC filtering is implicit in the way CCMP utilises both client and server
MACs for key exchange.

- WPA (or at the very least 128-bit WEP) security


WEP is a waste of time. 104 bit has been publicly broken in 3 minutes using
the latest tools.


WPA with at least a 30 character PSK at the very minimum.
