    Yes  I have been running WEP 'cause I have one old device that can
    do no more than that, and I usually admit only certain [18 or 19]
    MAC addresses that I have listed. Add to that the fact that I am in
    a rural area surrounded by cotton and soy beans, the distance to the
    road is about 200 meters, I don't think LAN security is a major
    worry. I can't detect any other systems when I scan.

    I've pretty much given up on the WNDR3300 router and have ordered
    one from Ubiquiti. That's out of stock so it wont arrive 'til
    September which is soon enough. What I have works, just could be better.

    Thanks.

    Bob
