[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 828202, member: 24098"] Simple solution: Log into your router and switch WEP encryption to WPA. WEP was essentially replaced by WPA about 5 years ago. WPA is easier to use, more secure and provides a faster connection. Additionally, since WPA has a very specific standard for its passphrase authentication, the kinds of issues you are experiencing as essentially negated. Since WEP can be hacked in less than 5 minutes with readily available tools, if you're still using WEP, you might as well be running no security at all. [/QUOTE]
