I would not go down to encryption that weak. If the device isn't
capable of encryption that can withstand a basic script-kiddie
attack then it's not worth using. All is not necessarily lost,
though. Look into custom firmware if the device has enough memory
and such to handle it. OpenWRT is the original Linux distribution
for embedded broadband routers, but in my experience it can be
cranky. I've heard good things about dd-wrt, and I personally have
used Tomato flawlessly for several years. <br>

Having reread your question, Something like Tomato would not be the
best choice as it is intended as routers, not media servers. I'll
bet somebody makes a custom firmware for media servers. Maybe look
around at OpenStora, which is for NAS box media servers like the
Netgear Stora. <br>
