With WPA, you should be fine. Disabling the SSID broadcast does not actually contribute anything to security. The hackers can easily identify your SSID anyway.

I use WPA-PSK on my laptop, and I do not get that message you are reporting. That's with XP-home. Perhaps the message is coming from your firewall software, and perhaps it is set to be a bit too paranoid. You might check to make sure it isn't warning you about some other problem. Once you are satisfied with that, then there's no real need for concern.

Also was told the Netgear is faster than the Westall in wireless and networked.

Please set me strait as to the better choice. Thanks.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Westall-327-vs-Netgear-WPN824-22664561 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 22:41:09 EDT
