Okay, I typically use WEP in the higher 128-bit mode on my Dlink
routers. The new Dlink router I just upgraded to offers WPA, but my
older Dlink PC-CARD 11b wifi card doesn't have WPA capabilities, so I'm
sticking to 128-bit WEP.
Now, I've been curious, I know that WEP has been cracked, but is that
only referring to the default 64-bit WEP? How secure is 128-bit WEP?
Also my Dlink router and PC-CARD both offer a proprietary 256-bit WEP.
How secure would that be? Is any WEP secure? Can I enable WPA and still
use my WEP-only network card?
