WPA, which stands for Wi-fi Protected Access.
WEP, which stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy.
Therefore, It just depends on the type of network you have. You seem to have a wireless network, so a WPA Encryption would be best until the IEEE's 802.11i standard encryption comes out.

∙ 13y agoNo, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is designed to provide security equivalent to that of a wired network. WEP has vulnerabilities and isn't considered highly secure. The Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) technologies were designed to address the core problems with WEP. These technologies implement the 802.11i standard. The difference between WPA and WPA2 is that the former implements most-but not all-of 802.11i in order to be able to communicate with older wireless cards (which might still need an update through their firmware in order to be compliant), while WPA2 implements the full standard and is not compatible with older cards.

What security component provides the strongest wayof preventing unwanted users from using a wireless network?
Authentication
Is there a free wireless network security provider?
There are several free wireless network security providers, including lucidlink, linksys, and auditmypc. Be aware of the risks and dangers of using free wireless network security providers before using the services.
What protocol is used to create a basic layer of security for a wireless network?
A protocol that is used to create a basic layer of security for a wireless network is to set up a password and log in. This way no one else can use the wireless network, but the owner.
N Wirless Routers?
Wireless routers are required to have a wireless network connection. The stronger the wireless signal the further the signal will reach. Although the network can be seen by others within it's signal range, for security reasons your network cannot be accessed without a network key. Specifically a N rated wireless router has a powerful signal. G routers are much less powerful. For any router to work you need to connect a wireless receiver to the computer you want on the network.
What wireless security protocol provides the highest level of security?
WPA2 AES is the best bet for SOHO network. You can implement safer method using RADIUS server authentification on enterpise level.
What services does Cisco provide for small businesses?
Cisco provides large network routers, network security features, network voice systems, phones, video and conferencing software and hardware and wireless access points, all of which are network based.
What benefit does 802.1x provide to a wireless network?
It provides more security and allows for a more diversified user base. See the related link for more details.

You can find out more about wireless network on the following website: http://www.howstuffworks.com/wireless-network.htm. They have useful info.
What does a broadband router do?
It provides network connection for wireless clients.
Is Security much of a concern when working on a wireless network?
Yes.
