The WEP use isn't a security warranty. You can pass WEP withou dificult. Try to search "broken wep security" in Google!<BR>
<BR>
You can disable WEP and use another security system, like access permissions based on MAC Address.<BR>
With this config, only MAC addresses you allow can connect to your router.<BR>
