There are burdens to some models, especially ones that require a lot of overhead to control like MAC filtering. The tasks can be made simpler, but on a larger network, it is a bad idea to implement in 'most' cases.
But the best security for a wireless network is to use WPA2 and a VPN. For home use I recommend MAC filtering (depending on the situation) and hiding the SSID and using WPA or WPA2.
