Hi all:
I have two Netgear MR814 V1 and one USRobotics URS8054. The two Netgear
routers never worked well with encryption. The connections between the
router and the laptop keeps going on and off, and is so frustrating. if i
turn encryption off, it works fine.
The USRobotics used to work well with encryption, but one day, it started
doing the same thing as with the Netgear (intermittent connection). so i
removed the encryption and now it works well.
The question is: is this a common problem with most routers?
Is there anything i can do to fix this problem?
If i can't fix the problem, is there any risk of using online banking or
providing credit card information over an unencrypted wireless connection
(even though the page accessed is https)?
the only security measure takes in limiting access by mac address (is this
better than nothing?)
thanks for any help.
