I just struggle to understand why you would turn off security when you already had it enabled - unless you have an extremely fast WAN connection it really has no performance impact.
Just trying to make a helpful suggestion
Yeah, I know. I vacillate between uber-paranoia and laisser-faire with the wifi. I not only re-enabled WEP but found the Tivo 802.11g adapter on Amazon for $40. This is the one that supports WPA, so when it comes I'll enable WPA. I've also disabled password access in Tomato, requiring remote ssh sessions to use key authentication.
