WGR614V9 repeater with WPA
Hello,
I'm having wgr614v9. I would like to use the repeater function using WPA security.
I already had one unit and i purchased another one to do so. When i tried to setup it I noticed that the newer item has newer firmware which doesn't support WPA in repeater even when the older firmware do support.
I read that WEP security is very vulnerable thus I want to use WPA.
What should i do? I assume that i cannot downgrade the new unit to older firmware?
Sincerely,
Eran.

- WEP ONLY for repeating
See wn2000rpt as alternative - Thank you for replying.
The reason i purchased another unit of wgr614v9 is that my previous unit support WPA in repeater mode. It seems that newer version of firmware removed this ability for unknown reason.
I have older unit which allow this and new unit which doesn't allow this.
Can I downgrade the firmware version of the new unit?
Eran. - Different firmware will not make any changes to repeating that uses WEP
