My Actiontec router does not have PSA capability.  It only has WEP.  Is their a Firmware upgrade or can I get a different router?  I may as well not use any security if my only option is WEP.

Thanks

Actually it does have WPA and WPA2.

Under Basic Wireless Settings Turn WEP Off.

Then Under Advanced Wireless Settings you will have the option for WEP, WPA or WPA2.  I suggest you use WPA2.

Not if it's a rev. A.  Rev. A routers had only WEP and WPA.  No WPA2.

To the OP:  If you have a rev. A, call VZ and tell them you need WPA2.  They should send you a newer router.  It might not be the latest, but it should be at least rev. D and will support WPA2.
