Choose WPA over WEP if available

April 03, 2006

Just the other day a friend asked me which was better: WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) or WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) for wireless security at home . If you have ever attempted to connect to a wi-fi hotspot and you had to enter a password to connect, it most likely has one of these security modes turned on. It's a good idea to have one of these modes enabled on your router at home if you have one too. Otherwise you are providing your neighbors with free internet access and opening your home network up to unscrupulous attacks. I recently found the Wi-Fi Alliance website and it has some great info, though more technical than most will enjoy.
