 WEP and WPA2 both on at the same time? I have a new d-Link 655 n router which I have set the wep encryption on so that my old Dell Axim PDA can still access the wireless. I want to switch to the n protocol, but that requires that I switch to WPA/PA2 encryption, which the PDA does not support. Is it possible to have both EP and WPA2 encryption on at the same time? Thanks in Advance.  |

What model Axim do you have? I thought the provided Odyssey client would provide WPA functionality? It did on my brothers Axim because he used it on my home wireless network.

The short answer is NO; all stations on the network must use the same encryption level. regards Sven. |

| Re: WEP and WPA2 both on at the same time? Actually it is possible to have different encryption types but not with the AP you have. If you have an advanced Cisco Aironet with a router so you can have different VLAN's with entirely different settings to include encrytion. Not easy to do but possible.

| Re: WEP and WPA2 both on at the same time? While not quite what the OP wanted, the Netgear WG602 (and possibly others) has a choice that allows WPA with TKIP and WPA2 with AES simultaneously. Older laptops get WPA, newer ones get WPA2. When all the older ones all go away, I switch to WPA2 only. I only use these where people demand using the built-in wireless, otherwise I'd just stuff a USB or PCMCIA card in it and do WPA2 only.
