Which wireless utility are you using? The Socket one?

Here's my advice: stick with WEP-64 and use only the Dell WLAN utility. Sure WEP is easy to hack, but who in the world is going to hack it? If you're worried about people stealing bandwidth, use Mac Address filters. I also have a DLink router and I found that WPA would only work with the Odyssey Client (perhaps another utility would work but the ones I saw cost money), and the Odyssey Client was so darn buggy that tomorrow I'm going to just switch back to WEP and not worry about hackers. Anyone else in the neighborhood with the knowledge of how to hack the network already has the Internet anyway, and is probably too busy probing the internet to care about my signal.:rolling:
