Hi Barb,

WPA is far better than WPA2. I haven't tried WEP yet. Very little Wi-Fi in
my neighborhood, so I could probably get by with WEP though. I still have
the feeling I have something configured wrong, but it's just a gut feeling.

first, please check to see that you are running the most current
firmware for the router

also make sure you have the latest driver for the USB wireless
