WEP is a basic encryption method, which is not as secure as WPA or WPA2. WPA is a security standard
stronger than WEP encryption. WPA2 is the most advanced and secure among these 3 options and,
therefore, WPA2 is the recommended security mode. Leaving security disabled is not recommended.
TIPS:
• Wireless-N networks should use the WPA2 security mode for the best performance.
