Hi.
Which WLAN protection method would you recommend?
- Shared key
- WPA-Personal
- WPA2-Personal
My router also supports Radius with 802.1x and WPA/WPA2-Enterprise, but these require strange stuff like certificates that leave me clueless. :)
Also if it's your home wLan, hide it, don't broadcast the ssid. So those in your neighbourhood won't even know you have a wireless.
Yes, they will. However, not broadcasting the SSID is a good step, but not necessarily all you should do. When a client connects to the network, it inquiries if the network is available. A patient wardriver will pick this up. However, they will not be able to get easily and will move on in most cases if they see WPA2.
*Some android devices, don't like hidden wireless*
True.
The next step is MAC restricting and a lot more. However, just employing security and hidden SSID is a great start. Most people do not do this.
