Hey guys,
Today I just got a Linksys wireless router.. I am wondering which of the security features should I use??




Thanks in advance!

I would choose WPA2. Obviously "Disabled" out, and "WEP" is too weak to be of much good. WPA was the first iteration of a far superior encryption scheme. WPA2 is an improvement over the original, but some early WPA cards may not work or they may require firmware updates. Most new stuff with work with WPA2. The Enterprise version is for a password server that gives each user a unique password. You probably aren't running a password server! Both flavors of WPA use a common password.

Thank you very much =) I'll go with WPA2 Personal...

My PowerBook G4 can't connect to a WPA network. So I'm using 40 bit WEP.
Can I use 128 bit WEP. I checked in About This Mac, but there were no detail regarding the encryption capabilities of the network card.

That is probably the fault of your operating system, not the card itself. Are you running OS X 10.2?

Nope. Bought this Mac in 2005. I'm running 10.4.10

You can definitely use 128-bit WEP. You should also be able to use WPA if you install the latest Airport update.
