The entire article's summary is:

I used to run a Linksys wireless router and I took a pretty big hit in performance when I enabled WEP. Close to 50%.

I have Cisco now and I don't take that much of a hit at all in the performance arena.

If you are concerned about LAN and WAN performance, then get high quality wireless equipment like Cisco.

The 3 tests (down/up):
wireless no wep: 4690/941 4729/943 4739/943
wireless 64-bit wep 2974/943 3046/943 3097/940
wired: 8436/945 8436/942 8533/943

As No Strings posted, if you're maxing out at lower then my WEP speeds, the odds are WEP isn't going to slow you down further. But let us know what you find.

Have you tweaked your OOL connection?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,4135626 Thu, 15 Aug 2002 09:41:33 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,4135601 No_Strings : Throughput with WEP enabled is typically 2.5Mbps or more. You'll see no hit to your 384K line.

I'm only set at 384/256. How much speed will I lose with WEP activated? I have changed the SSID and default password, but this is in a relatively small town and I don't expect that there would be many hackers running around trying to steal my signal.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,4135274 Thu, 15 Aug 2002 08:34:36 EDT
