I have an older D-Link DWL-7100AP wireless access point that works perfectly with the laptops in my house, all of which have Wireless-G adapters built in. Should this security issue lead me to replace my access point? There don't seem to be a lot of options for Wireless-G access points out there and it would be hard to replace. Thanks for any advice you can give!
