Preach on. I'm shocked that most "consumer devices" put the wireless
BEHIND the firewall, when it should be outside just like the internet.
But if you put it outside your firewall, you can't prevent theft of
service. You almost need two firewalls and put wireless in DMZ.
Can you recommend an ideal network setup? I've given up on wireless
because I don't feel like building a DMZ at home.
