[DM-MUG] USB Wireless adapter

[Keith Isley]

A lot of it, in my opinion, depends on the risk you're likely to incur, and
how important the information is you're trying to protect.
I live in a quiet neighborhood in Newton, and the chance of someone hacking
my home network from the street corner is pretty much nil. So I use WEP.

I could change, but it would require reconfiguring several computers,
including two which are in Iowa City with my college-age kids.

So....I leave it be. :)
