Re: Users are getting more security conscious too said by KPMG1 :
It really seems to me that more and more computer users are adopting the stronger encryption systems than before. In my neighborhood, I "see" roughly 15 SSIDs and only 2 are unencrypted and 3 are protected by WEP. Maybe 3 or so are WPA protected but the vast majority are using WPA2-PSK. Perhaps we have the ISPs to thank for this who set WPA2 as a default method of protection on the routers they give to their customers.
AT&T still does WEP default on their 2wire DSL gateway, and the UVERSE 2wire gateway uses WPA1.

Regular WPA is fine and actually a LOT more compatible than WPA2. As long as WPA uses AES it's secure...as secure as passwords are anyway. |
