See! I'm asking the right group already :)

This is exactly what I need to know...what *really* works or not. Ok, so 
it sounds like they will spoof MAC's. OpenVPN for home would be nice. 
Does this stop them from getting to my cable modem's bandwidth, or does 
this just stop them from getting to my systems that are connected to it? 
I'm not sure if this is something that stops them from using the 
wireless at all, or just from doing destructive things with my ssytems 
on it.

So...what about hardware? Is the hardware involved at all in the 
security? Does 128 bit WEP stop anything? Or 152 bit WEP? Is there some 
wireless hardware/brand/model that I could consider ideal for the situation?
