Extremely sorry to be so late getting back on this. Life intrudes.

Interesting link. Unfortunately it deals exclusively with wireless
security. Did I miss something?

My initial impression was that the router's encryption covered all
signals passing thru it, wired and wireless. I now think that it only
covers b'cast signals, leaving the wired network unprotected. Yes/no?
Been scouring the i'net but find nothing about activating security for
wired connections short of using ssh or maybe vpn.

Any help, clarifications, pointers, etc?
