IMHO WPA is fine with the 10 key, unless you have really valuable info (i.e. SS#'s etc) a real hacker will not waste the time trying to break your encryption codes. Just remember, there is a difference between a "passphrase" & the "WPA key". Please let me know if I misunderstood your question

 

Thanks wharfrat, for your reply. In my #1 post thumbnail are 8 different available options for Security. I have mine set to #5 at present. What I really want to know is #8 better than #5. Are they listed in order of (#1) least/no security up to #8 as the most secure? Anyone know of a tutorial to explain all levels?

I have a fairly safe (I believe) passphrase of 12 mixed Alpha and Numeric that is easy for me to remember and I don't think anyone else would guess or crack without a lot of effort.

 

Some useful tips here bazza.

Hey bazza,
The last 3 are pointed more to the corporate environment when using a RADIUS server. (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service)
Here's what cat5e has to say on wireless security and his links to the RADIUS info.

RADIUS Server Part 2

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks lbmest and wildwolf220 for your links. :major Looks like I lucked out in selecting #5 for a home user. I'll print out the links for further study. Thanks again, guys. :cool Bazza
