Do a spoofed Mac address and hacked Wep security, leave permanent loophole in wifi security in future?

[tortvoice v]

Recently our wifi (with Wep security) was hacked and MAC address spoofed. So I am going upgrade to the WPA2-AES encryption. My question is, in future will an already spoofed Mac address be still a loophole with WPA2-AES security upgrade?

I am aware that I've been living under rock for still using wep in 2017.

No, there is no lasting effect. Make sure to use a strong password for your wifi network and your administrator account. I would also recommend you disable remote access on the router itself.

Thank you for the answer.
How do I go about disabling remote access? I already turned off WPS..will it help?

What make/model router are you using?

Yes, disabling WPS is a good thing.
