<p class="p">WEP and WPA (along with WPA2) are names for different encryption tools
80
used to secure your wireless connection. Encryption scrambles the network
81
connection so that no one can “listen in” to it and look at which web pages
82
you are viewing, for example. WEP stands for <span class="em">Wired Equivalent
83
Privacy</span>, and WPA stands for <span class="em">Wireless Protected Access</span>. WPA2 is
84
the second version of the WPA standard.</p>
85
<p class="p">Using <span class="em">some</span> encryption is always better than using none, but WEP
86
is the least secure of these standards, and you should not use it if you can
87
avoid it. WPA2 is the most secure of the three. If your wireless card and
88
router support WPA2, that is what you should use when setting up your
