<title>What do WEP and WPA mean?</title>

WEP and WPA (along with WPA2) are names for different encryption tools
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
used to secure your wireless connection. Encryption scrambles the network
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
connection so that no one can “listen in” to it and look at which web pages
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
you are viewing, for example. WEP stands for Wired Equivalent
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
Privacy, and WPA stands for Wireless Protected Access. WPA2 is
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
the second version of the WPA standard.
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
|
|

6d2957 |
Using some encryption is always better than using none, but WEP
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
is the least secure of these standards, and you should not use it if you can
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
avoid it. WPA2 is the most secure of the three. If your wireless card and
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
router support WPA2, that is what you should use when setting up your
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
wireless network.
