I don't expect you will run into any wardriving anyway. iguana hunter1 Posted at 2:47 pm on Aug. 6, 2008 Quote: from utheh at 2:46 pm on Aug. 6, 2008 none. security is for noobs. agreed you don't even know you idiot. scottyrob Posted at 2:47 pm on Aug. 6, 2008 There differnt types of encryption methods.. Most laptops and routers support many differnt encryptions methods. You may chose a method that is lest encrypted if you have older hardware which it dosent support Chevy Jackson Posted at 2:46 pm on Aug. 6, 2008 WEP is the most widely used, but it isn't the strongest. WEP2 is stronger, but not always compatible. the same goes for most others too. Enterprise editions are more for business use than for home use, and 802.1x im not really sure about. I personally use just the regular WEP. hithere Posted at 2:46 pm on Aug. 6, 2008 you select the one that matches the network you're tying to connect to iguana hunter1 Posted at 2:46 pm on Aug. 6, 2008 wpa is more secure, ppl can use your wireless connection if u don't have 1, WEP is compatible with more devices but it's not as secure as WPA utheh Posted at 2:46 pm on Aug. 6, 2008 none. security is for noobs.   agreed drifting Posted at 2:45 pm on Aug. 6, 2008 WPA2 HXC Posted at 2:45 pm on Aug. 6, 2008 none. security is for noobs.
