I've had a few attempts to connect to my wireless access point. I have a monitor set up such that if too many attempts are made to connect from an unknown MAC address, the access point is disabled for a while. Continued attempts result in the access point being disabled. As I only use this for the set top box (and rarely the laptop), should the access point be disabled, it's not a major problem.

I have been tempted to try this option one day
