Multiple Security Types?

I got a new router and set it up for the WPA2. Great... all my devices work
EXCEPT Tivo.

I would rather not spend $60 for another USB receiver... so I rolled back to
WEP128.

Is it possible to use two type of security at the same time... and for that
matter wouldn't that defeat the purpose?

Maybe I'll stop being thrifty (read, cheap) and just buy the new device...
unless I can get 100' RJ-45 for less... (just kidding.. mostly).

WEP is NOT safe. you would be compromising everything on your
network. and yes, you are only as secure as the weakest security on
the entire network.

if Tivo does not support WPA2/WPA, get yourself something like the
DGL-3420 or DAP-1555 from DLink or the equivalent from another
vendor.
