well, he is right that WEP is worse the WPA. WPA is the newest type of
wireless security and the securest out there. Im not sure about your
particular router, but some routers will allow you to open your internet
browser, then type in their address (usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1)
and enable WPA that way.
