I'm asking because I just got the Airport Extreme because I read that it is one of the few routers out there that does not come with a built-in WPS switch. While this provides some comfort, does it make the wifi connection anymore secure from eavesdroppers in other ways? There are WPA2 settings and such but I recently discovered in my Macbook console that promiscuous mode was enabled.
I am not IT knowledgeable but isn't this a sniffer program and if so how did it get into my Airport network? I have a great password.
