WEP, more like 'Weak Encryption Protocol', am I right? Seriously, that B option is the way to go.

The slow encryption/decryption speeds of WEP are also a problem, but the security issues are definitely the biggest concern.

I agree with Kerrie. WEP's reliance on weak encryption is a big drawback that makes it an outdated and insecure protocol.
