not by using a 54GL that's for sure.

Metal -> ESXi -> Sophos -> LAN

Use a scary ssid

What's the best option out of all these?

just make it password protected and use a good password. This is a home network with a standard router/modem, stop over thinking it.

While I'm not handling classified information, ded serious this whole DNC getting hacked thing made me paranoid. Also, I noticed DoS attacks in the router logs.

What are filenames?

>>55850727
Why pfsense and not meraki or fortigate

>>55850690
Use WPA2, use a long, random, unique password and make sure WPS is turned off.

Don't have WiFi.

No, you aren't seeing ddos logs you are seeing probes which everyone on the planet sees. The DNC shit is due to phishing campaigns which you will not being to do anything about besides not opening attachments and purchasing something like a palo.

None is best. It means "none of the bad guys can get in". >:^)

Fortigate sucks balls without a subscription

WPA2-PSK [AES] is the most secure option available to you.
WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES} is for backwards compatibility with wireless devices that only support WPA1 and not WPA2. If you have no such devices on your network, then you shouldn't use that option.
The Enterprise option requires a RADIUS server for authentication. You can forget about that. Just use WPA2-PSK [AES] and you'll be fine.

Cat-6

Don't turn on the WIFI.
