I decided to lock mine down by restricting access to specific MAC
addresses. I also use WEP as a secondary option.

Of course, WEP can be broken. A MAC address can be spoofed. There is
no way to truly be sure. It's all spy/counterspy. As soon as you find
a way to "secure" something, someone will find a way to hack into it.
It's a never ending cycle.
