Nope, no point really. They're all "security through obscurity" which
never works. Hiding the SSID often makes it tricky for a laptop to
find the wifi, which is just pointless. Whitelisting is too easy to
break, and aggravating when you want to add a new machine. WEP is the
old, crap encryption that WPA/WPA2 replaces.

Just set yourself a decent WPA/WPA2 passcode and you're done.

OK, the options aren't quite the same as that page, oddly.
arse wish i could cut & paste them.

WEP
WPA-Personal
PSK-2
PSK2-mixed
WPA-Enterprise
PSK2+RADIUS
RADIUS

Just saw - there is a 'help' page, but it assumes the reader knows the
difference between TKIP and AES.

what does 'change the encryption keys' mean? That means I hvae to
change the password?

what a bore this is. I disabled wirelsss for the mo anyway...
