An open network will make it easy for someone to steal your Wi-Fi, and the older WEP security is easily hacked. If the only encryption options your router has are WEP or WPA, tell your router to ...

It’s important to remember that WEP is not your only choice for securing your wireless network; far better alternatives are now available. The definitive solution is the IEEE’s 802.11i ...

Then for Network Authentication choose WPA-PSK, and for Data encryption, choose TKIP. It’s slightly different in Vista — right-click the network you’re trying to connect to and choose Properties, then ...

A network security key is basically your Wi-Fi password — it's the encryption key that protects your internet. There are three different kinds of network security keys: WEP, WPA, and WPA2, each ...

Many networks still rely on WEP for security: 59% of the 15,000 Wi-Fi networks surveyed in a large German city in September 2006 used it, with only 18% using the newer WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access ...

In 2004, the known weaknesses of WEP and TKIP led the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) to create a new addendum to the basic 802.11 wireless network standard, 802.11i.

It's no secret that WEP isn't quite the cat's pajamas anymore when it comes to WiFi security, but the aging protocol is still used in a good many networks -- 59% in a recent survey of a large ...

Many networks still rely on WEP for security: 59 percent of the 15,000 Wi-Fi networks surveyed in a large German city in September 2006 used it, with only 18 percent using the newer Wi-Fi ...

As revealed from the survey, such a large-scale dependency on the WEP based networks is really a big threat for the associated users, because automated tools, such as aircrack-ng are easily and freely ...

The Wi-Fi security protocol WEP should not be relied on to protect sensitive material, according to three German security researchers who have discovered a faster way to crack it. They plan to ...
