Encryption

[telboy1938]

My phone gives me 3 options for Encryption. They are "NONE" or "WEP Open" or WEP shared......Can anyone explain which I should choose and why please? Thanks...Tel

WEP Open is the most secure option:

Whilst Chris is correct (seeing as WPA isn't an option) the correct answer is whichever matches the encryption on the wireless network you are trying to connect to.

Although, most wireless networks these days are secrured using the later and more secure WPA encryption, and if your phone doesn't support WPA then you'll not be able to connect them.

(this is assuming you are trying to connect the phone to a wireless network, if you are getting the options when trying to setup your phone to be a wireless access point so you can use it to connect a computer to the internet then use WEP open)

Thanks ChuckFickens. I have purchased a programme which allows me to use my Nokia E63 to transmit a WiFi signal in order to use my iPad when out of a WiFi Zone. It works fine but I couldn't be sure which of the setting to use. I guessed you would be around to offer your guidence. So WEP Open it is then. Regards....Tel
