WIFI SECURITY WEP VS WPA WHICH DO I HAVE PASSWORD
If you have super-fancy high-end Cisco wireless gear secured by WPA2 and use a password of mypass, you are ripe for compromise. Just as with most cryptographic systems, the password is the weak point.
WIFI SECURITY WEP VS WPA WHICH DO I HAVE OFFLINE
The tools that are publicly available can remotely de-authenticate an authorized user and then capture the authentication traffic (only 4 packets are required if I recall correctly), at which point the pre-shared key (aka password) can be brute-forced offline (again with commonly available tools, and massive rainbow tables are available to significantly speed up the process). Attacking a WPA or WPA2 secured network with a weak pre-shared key (aka password) is a very simple matter with commonly available tools (which have a wikipedia page, so they can't be that bad ) Use them only for good to test your own network.) By FAR the primary attack vector for both WPA and WPA2 is the pre-shared key.

WIFI SECURITY WEP VS WPA WHICH DO I HAVE DRIVERS
I have the latest drivers from NetGear installed. Are there tweaks/setting to make the connection more 'stable'? Is WPA more prone to drops and reconnects like this?Ģ. Sometimes it drops and reconnects several times in 10 minutes Other times I need to re-boot to re-gain a connection.ġ. With WPA running, occasionally means way too frequent for my liking. The NetGear card always provides this message when you first insert the card and a connection is established. I could leave the connection on for 2-3 days without losing it. I never received this type message using WEP once the connection was initially established. What I mean by this is I get a pop-up from the NetGear card that says "Connected to the Internet". Since running WPA, the connection occasionally seems to drop and tries to re-discover itself. I ran the same configuration with WEP for at least a year.
I switched from WEP 128 bit security to WPA-PSK (TKIP) about a month ago.
