I have read that you can expect 10-20% decrease in speed using WEP. Can anyone give me a figure about how much the speed will take a hit using WPA?

Thanks.

Have you taken a math class? If you're told that you can expect a specific decrease, then take your current speed and ROUGHLY calculate the new one.

You've got all the information (current speed, expected decrease), use it.

Re-read the question. Two or three times if you need to.

Crap! I wasn't paying attention, I apologize. As for the answer, I've read somewhere that you can expect a decrease of ~10% more than WEP when using WPA.

I'll do some more research, since I'm curious myself, and get back to you.
