Setting up a WPA or WEP key?

[guest69]

I have setup wireless network,but i don't know how to setup wpa or wep key for my network. So it can prevent my network from unauthorizes access. I tried to setup a key in wireless security option but it shows multiple security mode Disable, WPA2 personal,WPA enterprise. Can anyone tell me what should use to enable wep or wpa key in wireless network.

WPA is the strongest of the encryption methods. You should use that over WEP assuming your systems can connect using it. Configure WPA on your router can be fairly complex process, depending on your router, so check the manufacturer’s documentation. Its similar to setting up WEP, but requires several extra steps.

The WPA configuration interface for WPA-enabled access points or routers may vary. Some may provide total configurability for both enterprise users with WPA configuration screens and menus and home users with WPA-PSK screens and menus.

Check this Microsoft guide to setting up a wireless wep or wpa on wireless network : WPA Wireless Security for Home Networks

The first line of defense for your Wi-Fi network is encryption, which encodes the data transmitted between your PC and your wireless router. The Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP. WPA is stronger than WEP encryption.
