Wow, lots of information to assimilate here. You guys/gals have me searchin' all over the place for those initialisms, abbreviations, acronyms, etc. Their all new to me. ;)

WEP
The Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm is part of the 802.11 standard.

MAC (Not a Macintosh)
Media Access Control Address
A hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a network.

SSID
The Service Set IDentifier is a token which identifies an 802.11 (Wi-Fi) network.

ACL
The Access Control List is a set of data that informs a computer's operating system which permissions, or access rights, that each user or group has to a specific system object, such as a directory or file.

Now, there was mention of the 5.8 GHz phone. What about my router that has the 5GHz band?

Would a service like that from GRC (https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2) be sufficient for testing a wireless network from a security standpoint? My system(s) have always shown stealth mode for all services and they still do today.
