Separate your technologies.

Not being able to access a secure site because it required 128-bit encryption means you can't do SSL 128-bit HTTPS, this has absolutely nothing to do with encrypting a wireless transmission! You need to update your web browser. Install the latest Netscape, Firefox, whatever you use. If you're using Internet Explorer, run windows update, make sure you install the Root Certificates update.

Securing wireless is a whole other topic...
