Question : Which is the BEST to secure LAN : WEP, WPA or WPA2?

Hi everyone,

  I'm using a PROLINK H6300G Wireless ADSL2+ 802.11g 4-Port Ethernet Firewall/Router.

  1. I would like to know which would best protect my LAN consisting of 4 computers, a WEP, WPA or WPA2?
  2. I'm currently using WPA2 since I could create password using an easier format unlike WEP, but does it provide the same level of security as WEP?

  Thanks in advance.

Answer : Which is the BEST to secure LAN : WEP, WPA or WPA2?

No, the best solution is a combination - not broadcasting the SSID, use MAC address filtering, and a WPA2 password.  MAC address filtering is easy enough to sniff.

They are all crackable, but by putting in the most protections, you'll discourage most people from trying.
