![]() ![]() An excellent use of an old slow router that otherwise might get tossed away, and you could even unplug it when not using the old device, to lessen the security concerns of having a WEP network. Or using a second wireless router hosting the WEP “G” network would work too. My friends' solution was a router that had built-in “dual SSIDs,” where you can have your regular WPA2 “N” network, and also have a Guest network that used WEP or WPA, and “B” or “G” speeds. My router lists it under the Wireless security as "WPA / WPA2 Personal" and Encryption "TKIP / AES". Your router might have a "WPA/WPA2 Mixed Mode" that would let you connect with WPA/TKIP or WPA2/AES. The old handheld device actually had better Wi-Fi range than just about any current Android phone tested, and was good for free/open Wi-Fi networks like in most stores/restaurants. This was a concern for a friend with similar old (but still working 10+ years later) Wi-Fi enabled equipment that doesn’t have any updates to WPA2. ![]()
