| 874268 | 2010-04-08 07:31:00 | What's the better encryption the selection is WPA- personal WEP WPA- enterprise WPA2- enterprise as we just got wireless at home and not sure which one to go for at the moment it's turned off |

| 874269 | 2010-04-08 07:39:00 | Any of them would be better than nothing. I beleive but will stand corrected if I am wrong, that WPA is better than WEP. I cannot comment on the differences between WPA and WPA2 though, know nothing about that. |

| 874270 | 2010-04-08 07:40:00 | WPA2 but depending on the wireless card it might not be able use WPA2 so I use wpa and MAC filtering | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 874271 | 2010-04-08 07:49:00 | WPA 2 / WPA 2 enterprise would be better. Altho all adapters would have to have one of these options, for it to work | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 874272 | 2010-04-08 07:53:00 | I have quite a few wireless cards that only support up to wpa1 or only wep. But I have a solution to the WEP problem, I have a hidden wireless network that I only enable when I need it. Or for my phone. | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 874273 | 2010-04-08 08:05:00 | Cool thanks Guys is set to WPA2 and working fine | gary67 (56) | ||

Hidden networks are not secure - all you have to do is install something like Netstumbler and you can see them! |
