Michael Callahan: Hi, this is Michael Callahan doctor file finder and welcome back to our special Butterscotch.com ten parts series on understanding your router. Now in this segment we are going to look briefly and security option. We got a number of options available on your network.
Some of the options you have available will depend on your equipment and the age of your equipment, wireless security has steadily improved over the years from the initial WEP, which is not considered in adequate group of FBI people got together and with commonly available software tool that cracked on WEP on work in must three minutes, so we don't recommend WEP, so well there are many different types of security available, many options. Our purpose here is to give you the ones that we feel are the best and best serve your interest, so back in the router settings.
Under security there are options for blocking anonyms in a request filtering multi cast content, which comes from your internet surface provider and other things. I feel, I should also point out that and nearly every router software there is detailed help, so if you don't understand where thing is talking about, you don't understand what multicast is, you can go and here and look, do you want to know what filter indented port 113 is you can here and look and find it quite easily back in the router settings again under wireless and wireless security you can see here that we have security mode WEP.
Now if you look down with this WPA personal, WPA enterprise, WPA2 personal, WPA2 Enterprise radius it generate and put into phrase and here again there is a plenty of help telling you about all of the different kinds. Our personal believe is that currently for home networks WPA2 is the best security for your router, so we will discuss that in the next segment. To remind this is one segment of a ten part series, you should check for the other episodes.
