I'd like to tap the collective intelligence of TriLUG and seek advice on a
new home wireless access point. My vintage Linksys is still going strong,
but I'd really love to have a whitelist for known friendly MAC addresses.
I'm pretty sure this is a common feature these days, but I'm more
interested in what new whiz-bang things are out there that I don't know
about.
I'm leaning towards another Linksys because of the incredible service this
one has given me, but am open to other vendors. After doing a little
research this morning, I found a few that look interesting (mostly because
they claim to have firewall technology built-in).

This would be for a very mixed environment (Macs, PCs, Linux, shared
storage & printing), yet my needs are fairly basic. I want the MAC
whitelist and a relatively secure router. What say you?
