New Buff Stuff
Answers to questions in no particular order:

  • It's been up since I bought it, unattended.

  • It can do 128-bit WEP, and WPA.

  • If you've got Windows clients, it's even easier; you run a little client program, press a button on the router, and it automatically sets up a secure connection.

  • Speed and range seem to be dandy. SWMBO is regularly interwebbing from the dormer, which is two floors above the router. She'd not be slow to complain if it was problematic, too. I'm running all clients in 54g mode.

I concur on Netgear's wireless stuff; well-specified products, poorly engineered.
