it would take 1min-10min to crack with a pc..so think of WEP as protection against ppl stealing your network..not really people...

I mean give me a few hours id break into your WEP network with my TP2 :/


Highest is WPA2
Make sure that all of your OTHER wireless connected devices support WPA2 before flipping the switch. My kids DSi only supports WPA, not WPA2 last time I looked and laptop drivers aren't always updated if some odd ball brand. I have to plug in a second WAP from time to time if she wants to go online with it. I might even have a wireless card or 2 that doesn't support WPA2, but I took them out of circulation so no biggie for me, but your mileage may vary.
