What wireless security do you use?

MSP · 08-07-2007, 06:25 PM

As of right now I'm using 128bit WEP on both of my APs, but the more I read the more I realize that my pants are basically down around my Wi-Fi ankles. I have one device that only supports WEP which is why I chose it, but I rarely use that device these days and would rather replace it. So what do you use?

128-bit WEP as well. My connection is the only secured one in my apt complex.. i can pick up 7-8 "excellent" signals.

I just voted WPA as I've updated my firmware and went to DEFCON 4. My D-Link AP is being a little fussy right now so I just turned it off. I think it's the heat (as it's located in my garage). I almost never use it anyway...

WPA2, even though I live in the ghetto and I'm pretty sure no one has a computer and no would would ever stop in a car with a laptop at risk of getting killed for it.

128-bit WEP and MAC address filtering.

At the house we didn't encrypt the network, nobody for several acres on either side so it was rather pointless. Opted to go with a cheap switch at the apartment rather than put in a wireless router.

WPA-PSK/TKIP w/ MAC address filtering, secure HTTP administration (over wired Ethernet), and no remote administtration.

Does it work? Who knows?

WPA with MAC address filtering, I live in a cul-de-sac with two other wireless connections that are both unsecured so I am not too worried.

That is how I set my mom up @ my parent's house, but I can't remember if I did AES or TKIP.

Hard wired ftw

Both computers are in the same room, + my xbox is in the next room, so I just put a hole in the wall rather then waste money :P

I chose TKIP, but I have to confess I don't really know the difference.

	Say goodbye to our beloved planet. Because there is alot more money to be made in emitting greenhouse gasses, than curtailing emissions. Get out of the box, then recycle it.
