I was going to quote a cheap deal from Expansys for the D-Link version of
this combination, but for the price of the router on its own, but the
offer has just run out.

There are still (just) cheap DI-624s on Ebay (though sometimes with US
PSUs).

The insecurity of WEP is very overated - it's isn't perfect, but the
probability of being able to run AirSnort and get the WEP key within a
reasonable (ie. less than a week) time is not so valid now-a-days. Most
WEP implementations now avoid weak IVs anyway.
