For my Holiday post I decided to compile a list of the most frequent questions I get. This is in no way exhaustive or comprehensive, but I get these a lot so maybe they'll help you.
1. What type of wireless security should I use? I always turn on WPA2 security. It is the highest level and has yet to be cracked by any organization.
2. What wireless speed should I get? Wireless routers and access points come in a number of speeds. A/B/G/N. While B/G/N are completely compatible with each other, A is a different beast all together and cannot be used in conjunction with B/G/N. The current fastest standard is 802.11N. N is the fastest wireless connection possible and the signal carries the farthest. To get the maximum speed, both the router AND the computer must be the same. If the router is N and the computer is G, you will only get G speeds.
