I've got a netgear g router that has all kinds of encryption options, however, my kids computers have older d-link wireless b cards that, from what I remember, only allow WEP/128.I looked for new cards on a couple of sites, but anything fairly inexpensive seems to only offer the same. WEP/128.I don't want to spend a ton on new wireless cards for their pc's, but I feel that WEP isn't worth a crap.Any suggestions??-Bob

What would I do without usenet??-Bob

Am I stuck with WEP?

select the version of your router, and download the manual (It can be aroung 125 pages, and I use dialup) There are also sucess stories, install guides etc.. It's basically router specific.. Has nothing to do with the cards in your computers.

Good luck.. And if you decide to add something else later, it is NOT mutually exclusive with the allowed MAC address thing... Think of it as a double lock door, and the allowed mac address thing is one, but you can always lock the deadbolt later.
