ADSL Routers are a different thing. Anyway, all the routers I've received (4 in total) for the cable service were set to WEP. I am happy to clarify the point on my blog.

I totally disagree with the "mixed mode" thing anyway, as many devices will pick WPA OVER WPA2 if there's a choice, and then you don't get the speed.

Same goes for Auto Negotiation with a wired connection. A lot of devices don't switch intelligently.

And my concern is that many of the fitters and tech support guys don't get trained on this self-same information, and spend time looking for things that aren't there instead of Occam's Razor....
