WGR614v7. Changing encryption type from WEP to WPA2.
Can I change the encryption type from WEP to WPA2 without changing any other settings (such as username or password)? My new security cameras require WPA2 level encryption on my router. Thanks
- In short, yes on many. But some explicitly require you need to tell them what encryption you use by selecting the right option they provide
Instead of changing security protocols, change the router.
that is an old wireless g router that is single band from 2003. (just think, in a year, it can drink!)
Before wireless security camera's were a thing.
Not that you couldn't get it to work but its so old/slow that it'll bottleneck your network and proably make the camera's seem pretty crappy.
Time to upgrade to something from this decade.

Make that this century. I'd lay money on it having its origins back in the 20th century.
- Thanks for the advice. I probably will.
- Thanks for your reply. I will probably change routers. Still, can I change encryption levels without disrupting my network devices?
- In short, yes on many. But some explicitly require you need to tell them what encryption you use by selecting the right option they provide
- Thank you for the advice. I will change the encryption level on this router until I get a new one, and hope everything stays online.
