I just got a Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router and it allows me to set the encryption per Frequency (2.4GHz and 5GHz). The issue seems that if I set the 2.4GHz @ WPA or WPA2, hardware that does not support this encryption type will not connect. OK, this part I get, but why then would I set the 2.4 GHz to WEP, and the 5GHZ to WPA/WPA2, if the weakest part of the security to the WiFi network is WEP? That's not saying WEP is not secure @ 128 byte encryprion.
Just strikes me a little odd no? Am I missing something here? It almost seems the WPA/WPA2 is overkill. Any input is greatly appreciated.
