Can I change my security setting from WEP to WPA2-PSK {AES} on my WNR2000v5?

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
    for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Look for "Specify Basic WiFi
    Settings" and "Change the WiFi Security Option".  I see:

          5. Under Security Options, select a WPA option:
             o WPA2-PSK [AES]
             o WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]
             o WPA/WPA2 Enterprise


    > Yes, if the router and all clients support it.

       Well, duh.

        Researching from a phone is difficult! But hey, why don't you go ahead and do the research for the clients too.
