Wouldn't it be possible to create a secondary network either with a another
router or with your computer, with WEP security and that you only turn on
when you want to connect your Newton?  Or am I completely off the wall here?
If it is you could have your main wifi network on WPA and then create the
WEP network only when you want to use it.


I haven't tried it yet but I don't see why it would be impossible.  Over to
the folks who know this stuff.  :-)


 
Shalom.
