[LUG] Wifi Security

 

I have a Netgear 604g router which can enable wifi security. At the
moment I am not using  it as I live in an area where few people have a
computer. However it would probably be an idea to set some sort of
security up. Since I do not know much about it I am asking for some
help.

There are various choices. I do not know which to go for. 
WPA-PSK
WPA2-PSK
both of those together
WPA-802 1x
WPA2-802 1x
and both those together.

So I am confused. Can anyone help me please? Also, once set up what do
I have to change on my laptop which is using Linux Mint v9 Xfce? Is it
just a matter of typing in the password?

Thanks

Neil
