Wep WPA, whats the recommended again?

[Microman]

Want to turn encryption on. Currently only have certain MAC Addresses that can connect, but I know that doesn't stop some.

Which enryption should a simple home system setup.

And what do you do, on the Router, just turn it on in the menu, and you will see a KEY, which then when you log on with the Laptop it will ask for the KEY one time?

Thanks.

Probably WPA but which router do you have?

[Microman]

Just an older Netgear. Not as new as the white one I have. Older silver one

WPA is recommended over WEP.

WPA with the largest pseudo random password you can handle. Here's a link which may prove useful. Barring that, WEP 128, again with a strong password. Changing the password every now and then never hurt either, especially if using WEP 128.
