WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a legacy method to encrypt each frame transmitted via 
radio using either a 64-bit or 128-bit key. Usually access point will preset a set of four keys 
and it will communicate with each station using only one out of the four keys. 

WPA(Wi-Fi Protected Access), the most dominating security mechanism in industry, is 
separated into two categories: WPA-personal or called WPA Pre-Share Key (WPA/PSK), 
and WPA-Enterprise or called WPA/802.1x. 

In WPA-Personal, a pre-defined key is used for encryption during data transmission. WPA 
applies Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for data encryption while WPA2 applies 
AES. The WPA-Enterprise combines not only encryption but also authentication. 

Since WEP has been proved vulnerable, you may consider using WPA for the most secure 
connection. You should select the appropriate security mechanism according to your needs. 
No matter which security suite you select, they all will enhance the over-the-air data 
protection and /or privacy on your wireless network. The Vigor wireless router is very 
flexible and can support multiple secure connections with both WEP and WPA at the same 
time.
