What security mode for Wireless?

[Shane]

Okay so i finaly have my wireless set up and working nicely,However im still unsure which security settings are best out of this list?

Security Options
1)None
2)WEP
3)WPA-PSK [TKIP]
4)WPA2-PSK [AES]
5)WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]

Im curently using option 3...but should i be using 5? Is that better security?

thanks

WPA-PSK [TKIP] is perfectly fine. Depending on your devices they may not support WPA2 anyways. In any case as long as you have a good long non-dictionary password like a 63 digital random password made up of letters (upper and lower case) and numbers you will won't be getting hacked.

WPA2 is technically more secure, but as long as you're not using WEP you're fine. Like Lawson said, some older NICs may not support WPA2.

WPA2 it is then,I selected that security option in my Routers wireless settings and my devices do support it.....My netbook is recieving

all is good.
