I had a look at these today in PCWorld. They appear to have mixed new & old stock.mantisgeek wrote:Downside is that the Belkin doesn't support WPA encryption which is less secure. Recent PC-Pro magazine has an article stating a knowledgeable hacker can get into a WEP encrypted network within a few hours - then they can have access to your PC if it's shared.
The old stock which is version 3000uk I believe and says it is © 2004 makes no mention of WPA encryption.
However the new stock, which has the same part number & barcode, is version 4 I believe and is © 2005. The other way to identify this box is there is no picture of a gorgeous lady at her pc on the front of the box. Importantly, this box states that the item is capable of WPA encryption, so it may be worth negotiating the later version."Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100 -
What is WPA? and how do you encrpt? I have an old belkin which I need to encrpt...Use your judgement, and above all, be honest with yourself.
