WEP ENCRYPTION IS EVEN LESS RELIABLE THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT

WEP is an encryption type many of us have gotten used to having wireless routers at home.

It has now been shown that you can break WEP in less than three seconds with average computers available out on the market.

If you are running WEP encryption on your network at home I suggest switching over to WPA.

WPA is another encryption technology that has not been broken. If you router does not support this encryption method, usually firmware updates from the router's manufacturer will add WPA support.
