The product claimed thatthere were two point to point devices that plugged into wall outlets andthen a ethernet cable would be plugged into each device. I think thespeeds were slightly better than wireless too.-----Original Message-----

Buy another router and set up a 2nd network with no Internet Access to test it on WEP.Brian The whole concept of "wireless encryption security" is somewhat moot with airdump-ng etc tools.
WEP keys are really easy to break.WPA is also easily encroached - but harder with a truely unique secure key (which few people use)It just exists as part of the big "security" matrix to keep the honest people out. Crackers can get right in anyway!
