Most routers have multiple encryption settings, but WPA2 or higher are often recommended.

Verizon says on its website: “Verizon recommends using the strongest encryption available that is compatible with the devices on your home network.

WPA2 encryption is the best choice to secure your network.

The next best option is WPA encryption if one or several of your devices aren’t WPA2 compatible.

Only if you are unable to use WPA2 or WPA encryption on your devices should you even consider WEP encryption.

WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access and there’s now a WPA3.

It’s a good idea to choose WPA3 for security if you have the choice.
