WEP OR WPA?
It would be great if you could enable security by ticking the “Enable Security” box (don’t go looking for it, it isn’t there). Instead we have various different options for enabling security and little in the way of help choosing. WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. Essentially, this is supposed to provide protection as good as a wired network. In all honesty, it doesn’t really succeed in that, however, it should be acceptable for the average home user. WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access and is designed to cover the flaws in the WEP security system. There are two seperate encryption methods for WPA known as TKIP and AES. TKIP is the more popular version and is more widely supported.
