its just home.<br />
i was using just mac filtering and hidden network. but that just is not secure.<br />
<br />
i will change to your reccomendation.<br />
<br />
also, on my macbook. when i connect to a network it has these as security options:<br />
<br />
WEP Password<br />
WEP 40/128-bit Hex<br />
WEP 40/128-bit ASCII<br />
LEAP<br />
WPA Personal<br />
WPA Enterprise<br />
WPA2 Personal<br />
WPA2 Enterprise<br />
802.1x WEP<br />
<br />
Do i select WPA2 Personal? &nbsp;

yes WPA2 Personal is WPA2 AES<br />
you can leave the other security you have set in place as it offers multiple layers of security<br />
eg: a hacker would have to:<br />
discover your hidden SSID<br />
spoof your MAC<br />
crack WPA2 to get onto your network<br />
granted the first 2 arent very difficult but it acts as a deterrent to the casual snooper as opposed to a determined hacker :)

Can someone please tell me the difference between these, and what is best (any why)?<br />
<br />
WPA-PSK (TKIP)<br />
WPA2-PSK (AES)<br />
WPA-PSK (TKIP) + WPA2-PSK (AES)<br />

Different types of wireless secutiry

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Routers

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.

Wireless Hardware

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.
