all you wifi guru's?
How secure do you think my wifi is? I have wpa 2 psk Thats
TKIP (AES is more secure I know but it makes my wifi really slow but ill look into a better card) and the password is 63 characters
long with numbers and letters and symbols mixed and I set a
rekey interval at 60 seconds, I didnt use disable ssid and mac
filter because its completely useless. what would you say out of 10. Are there attacks that can break security with these measures. Look at everyone today still , people have wep
and more unsecured than wpa , and some people think that
they dont need security because there neighbours might
not hack them but with a telescope wifi antenna thats 24 dbi
you can connect to peoples wifi from over a mile away. so out of 10 what do you guys say.

You’re fine. The length of your password is really irrelevant as long as it’s long enough to deter brute-forcing, since it’s going to be boiled down to the same number of bits no matter how long it is.
It’s not like you can’t tell whether you have a security problem anyway — your router keeps logs, right? Besides, your neighbors are far more likely to steal your wifi than somebody sitting in a car a mile away.
