This is what my set up looks like right now:

Code:
   (Coaxial cable from wall)
                 |  
              [Modem]- antenna
             /  |  | \
             |  |  |  |
            [c][c][c][c]
And then of course my laptop which is not connected (yet).
The [c]'s are different computers. I can install OpenBSD on any of them.
The Modem has a router built into it, and it's not possible to disable it. There is an antenna sticking out of the modem which is the wireless access point. Everything is inside a single box.

My research done on WEP made me conclude to believe that it's very easily cracked, which is why I chose WPA2 on the modem/router settings and set my own passkey.

Is WEP really safe to use?
