ACK, but WEP should only be used if there _is no_ alternative. I know that most older AP's don't support WPA but all new devices should. So if one has the chance to use WPA-PSK, WPA-TKIP or proporitary 256bit WEP he definately should. The reason I posted my statement is that people are learning from reading the posts in this forum and if one is writing that WEP is still ok, he should also mention that it is only ok if there are no alternatives. (IMO of course
)
My recommendation is to sell the old AP on ebay or whereever and get a new one that supports WPA.
