Extend WEP encrypted signal

[Jake Hall]

I'm looking for a range extender that can repeat a WEP encrypted signal, I cannot change it to WPA.
Any thoughts on what I buy?

I've just looked on packaging of my Netgear range-extender, it says it does support WEP:

Netgear Range Extender EX6150:

I can recommend it too, very reliable and makes a noticeable difference to wireless range throughout my house.

For whatever reason you think you can not move wpa you really should. I could crack your wireless security in 5 minutes with my mobile phone.

That's true, but you'd have to be within range of his router, which means in his house or in the same street.

So you would suggest WEP is ok. Lol
