I have my SB1 and all other wifi devices at home operating in 128-bit WEP with shared key. On my Linksys router, when I set the 128-bit mode and provided a passphrase, it generated 4 hex keys. I also set the auth mode to shared key which requires the client to provide at least one of those keys when authenticating.

Then on the SB1, I was able to specify the first hex key (of the 4 it generated from the passphrase) and it connected first time.tla

A while ago, a tried setting up some encryption on my wireless network,

(I think, at the time, I was still on firmware revision 39).  I ended up
disabling encryption, so now I'm back to MAC filter.  When I tried the
encryption, I was on MAC filter plus encryption.

Can anyone confirm whether this works or not?  I guess it must work at
some level, as I haven't seen any posts about it on the lists
recently...?

So if someone can let me know that it definitely works ok, then I'll try
and get it up and running again on my home LAN.

Are there any "preferred" encryption methods?  e.g. 64-bit, 128-bit,
WEP, WPA or whatever?

Cheers!
Dan.
