Final Thoughts
When thinking about what security to setup for your WiFi network,
consider the purpose of the network and also hardware/software compatibility.
If you're setting up a home network and want it to be as secure
as possible, turn off SSID broadcasting, change the network name
and admin password and start by trying to get WPA configured. If
that doesn't work, you can fall back to WEP, but only if you have
no choice.
Do remember, however, that while these methods will deter the casual snooper, if a hacker really wants access to your network, they will eventually find a way. Make sure you keep your machines' firewalls running and bear in mind that the ultimate in WiFi security is an access point that is turned off!
