I'm not so sure about that. The AP-500 shipped with a gold card, I believe - hence it's 128-bit capability. I think you're still limited to 40-bit (Silver card) if you load the image up on a RG-1000. I believe it *may* be possible to upgrade a silver card to do 128-bit WEP, I just don't think the stock AP-500 firmware image will do it. The reason I suspect that you might be able do it is that Apple are touting 128-bit support in their Airport 2.0 software: >AirPort 2.0 software >Compatible with all versions of AirPort Cards >and Base Stations, AirPort 2.0 software brings >enhanced features to AirPort wireless networks. >AirPort 2.0 software can upgrade original AirPort >Cards to support 128-bit encryption (encryption >for original AirPort Base Stations will remain >40-bit).

Either the card is upgradable, or they've moved WEP off the card and into the driver on the Mac. -- andyw at pobox.com Andy Warner Voice: (612) 801-8549 Fax: (208) 575-5634
