Can I be safe connecting wireless to a router without any security encryption?

Question

I have three computers in the house. Two are wired to the router via ethernet and my computer is connected via wireless card. My router is linux based so I flashed a linux based 3rd party firmware to the router. The firmware will allow me to only let certain MAC addresses connect to the router. Should I be pretty safe with no wep or whatever encryption? I am asking because the connection to the router keeps disconnecting and reconnecting every 30 minutes or so with the encryption. No problems with no encryption.

Answer 1

I would say so, but perhaps also setup a timer to close all ports during the hours where you may not be monitoring the system.

Answer 2
