Wireless Protected Access (WPA)
wireless security. However, not all wireless cards and adapters support
this technology. Please check your wireless router's user manual to check
if it supports WPA. Instead of a hex key, WPA uses only passphrases,
which are much easier to remember.
The following section, intended for the home, home office, and small
office user, presents a few different ways to maximize the security of your
wireless network.
At the time of publication, four Encryption Methods are available:

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
WEP
is a common protocol that adds security to all Wi-Fi-compliant
wireless products. WEP gives wireless networks the equivalent level of
privacy protection as a comparable wired network.
64-Bit WEP
64-bit WEP was first introduced with 64-bit encryption, which includes
a key length of 40 bits plus 24 additional bits of system-generated data
(64 bits total). Some hardware manufacturers refer to 64-bit as 40-bit
encryption. Shortly after the technology was introduced, researchers found
that 64-bit encryption was too easy to decode.
