Third, enable WPA or WEP encryption
Welcome to Tip #3, in my 5 Part Series on Securing your Wireless Network.
Today, there are two wireless network security encryptions that are available.
Each of the following encryptions will create a secure wireless network and will protect both your computer and your connection from being invaded.
WPA - The WPA encryption (Wi-Fi Protected Access, WPA, or WPA2) is stronger and more secure than WEP and it is also easier to use.
WEP - The WEP encryption (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is part of the first generation of wireless networking equipment and is definitely weaker than the WPA encryption, but will still be sufficient for home use.
Be sure to assure you have enabled at least WEP encryption, however, WPA is best.
Have a good day!
