[QUOTE="Chad Young, post: 48862, member: 699"] Re: Large scale concert production TCP/IP networking Oddly I *AM* a network manager/admin. My day job is IT security. For the record, MAC addresses can be easily spoofed and viewed freely, even on an encrypted/hidden network. Also, 'invisible' SSIDs aren't, at least not someone who knows how to 'see' invisible SSIDs. Making it invisible just keeps it from being casually seen by yoru average Joe with a smart phone or laptop. I suggest the network be isolated (no internet access), enable WPA2-PSK security, and your call on whether to broadcast the SSID or not - it makes no difference to anyone who is serious about compromising your network. Make sure you change the default password and IP ranges on the router. Makre sure no one writes the PSK on the router or where people can casually see it. [/QUOTE]
