Orbi and WEP
I’ve been under the assumption that using WPS encryption is insecure, and the best encryption is to use WPA2 (hopefully with the Krack exploit patched). I noticed that it seems the Orbi system does use WPS through pushing the sync button on the router and/or satellite(s). Previous routers I’ve owned had the ability to completely turn off WEP. With that in mind, could someone comment on how secure using WEP (through the sync button) is when using an Orbi System? Also, does anyone think it may be beneficial if down the road Netgear added the ability for an end user to choose if they want WEP enabled or disabled on each individual device through a future firmware update (of course, after Netgear fixes the bugs that have been causing a lot of people to experience seemingly random wireless internet disconnections)?
