That's more than enough. If you allow access only to a few selected
MAC addresses, you may be sure that only good guys will access your
network. If you feel paranoic, disable SSID broadcasting; in that
way, only users who know the SSID name (and the WPA key, and have the
right MAC address) will be able to connect.
