Apologies for my long absence, everyone; work has been quite trying of late. It seems that networks never really stop growing and evolving, and the bigger they get, the longer and tougher the next expansion becomes...

Hello all!


My router has following options available:


- WEP
- WPA
- 802.1X


Now, what is 802.1X ? Is that WAP2 or yet another thing?

802.1X is an authentication protocol (not an encryption option). Various implementations of 802.1X are EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol), Cisco LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol), and PEAP (don't ask).

Unless you have a server (typically running RADIUS) to authenticate your wireless users, you may safely ignore this. BTW, have a look here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.1X

Cheers.
