Re: Can a router support more than one security mode?

Thank you very much. I upgraded my firmware to DD-WRT and it works
like magic.
I now have 2 SSID on my router, one running WPA2 and one running WEP.

Only problem: I used to be able to get about 270Mbps for my Wireless-
N. But Now I can't seem to get more than 103Mbps.

Did you have this problem? Can you shed some light on why this
happens?

Thanks!

I have a LinkSys WRT300N router.  I currently use Mac Filtering and
WEP as my security measure.

I recently got a new laptop that has Intel 4965AGN wireless card.  In
order to get Wireless-N on this card it must use WPA-APS or higher.

Eventhough my router would support WPA, I have 2 TiVos that only
support WEP.

Other than buying new adapters for my TiVos (not the most economic
investiment), is there a way to configure my router to use WEP for the
two TiVos and WPA for the PCs?

Any of the routers that support more than one SSID will do the trick.
I use Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 or Linksys WRT54G with Linksys DD-WRT v24
firmware, which supports up to 16 (???) SSID's, each with their own
independent encryption methods.

Note that pages 2-3 are for reconfiguring the VLAN's so that computers
that are on different SSID's cannot see each other.  If you don't care
about this isolation feature, then none of the iptables tweaking is
required.
