The firewall is up and running, and I've configured MAC filtering as well -- just need to test it on the Ethernet port to make sure it's working before I start messing around any further.
I did find out what the issue was with WEP. Turns out that Apple requires certain minor modifications to the WEP configuration in the router if it's a third-party router:

So I'm going to take a stab at that later this evening after I've set up everything else and made sure it's working.
It will be interesting to see what happens with Denise's wireless NIC the next time she's here -- I don't know whether this "tweak" will be compatible with her NIC, so it's possible we'll have to turn WEP off while she's here.
