So, no longer following computer hardware I was unaware that WEP encryption was now quite so easy to break. I use 128 bit WEP encryption on my home WLAN, but I'm now feeling a bit paranoid. All my work stuff goes via VPN, so hopefully that's enough to protect it, but I think I want to upgrade my router just in case.

I have a combined cable modem and wireless router (Linksys WCG200), and I'm happy with the convenience it gives me. I want something similar, but with WPA encryption. It also needs to have a couple of Ethernet ports for an intransigent mac to be connected by cable.

Suggestions?

Did your ISP/cable company give you the Linksys WCG200 or is it yours?

It looks like v2 of the hardware supports WPA. I presume you've checked that and you have v1.

I'm not familiar with many integrated devices. You might find a v2 version on eBay.

Go for Belkin, check out the sites for different models as its the only way to actually determine all specs on models
