5. Then switch to WPA or WPA2 with a strong passphrase.

What's the different between WPA Pre-Shared Key and WPA RADIUS? Which
one should I choose?

WPA-PSK is "pre shared key". This is where you type in a >20
character encryption key into the router and all connecting devices.

A "strong passphrase" is one that you can't remember.

WPA-RADIUS is where you have a RADIUS server somewhere, that has a
database of user logins, passwords, MAC addresses, certificates, etc,
that are used to authorize user and authenticate the client using
802.1x authentication.

You probably want WPA-PSK or what Linksys calls "WPA Personal".

My linksys wireless router uses "WPA Pre-Shared Key". If I choose
that, I will have to create a key for "WPA Shared Key:" field, right?
