I have a BelkinRouter and Belkin Access Point. I have set up WEP 128Bit
security, disabled SSID broadcast, ANY SSID access, disabled DHCP,
changed the IP range from the default and limited the IP range. Also,
included MAC address filtering.
However with all of this in place I'm still seeing in the ISP log activity
outside of the hours of use.
All PCs are switched off when not in use. The wireless network is still
active. I have unplugged the ADSL line and found on those days that no
activity in the log. Therefore, I consider that the breach is via the
wireless router.
I have read that the MAC address can be spoofed and WEP can be broken, but
how can they get hold of the IP range?
What else can I be missing? How do I know that I have the correct MAC
address for my devices?
Any help and advice would be appreciated.

Well to anser to your question YES it can be EASILY Broken, If you want to

you can call it security) of your WEP network.
