There is a odd problem with my router. According to the logs my HP printer used the wifi router the whole night and i know for a fact that my printer was off and there is no way in hell that it could connect to my router.
The reason why i want MAC filtering is that in India its not legal to keep your network unprotected and WEP slowed things down a bit. This is not the first time i suspected foul play as my transfer speed and internet speed flux's a lot around night time but i did not think it was such a big deal.
Now the problem is that i know i cant change the MAC address of my HP Printer and if i make the MAC address unauthorized i would not be able to put my printer on the wifi network.
So is there anyway i can hook up the printer to wifi without useing WEP, etc. Any idea's??
