Hi, my usual router seems to have broken.
I have an old NETGEAR DG834v3 but do't know what securuty settings to put it on.
There seem to be 3 options on the router....
WEP
WPA-PSK
WPA-802.1x
I have opted for WPA-PSK and used a password with a mix of numbers and letters. Is this safe or should I be doing something else?
