Here is a WiFi router that I recommend (affiliate) amzn.to/2P8NLid FREE DOWNLOAD ►Never forget your passwords again. ►www.roboform.com/lp?frm=rfp-012&affid=pcert (affiliate). #1 rated RoboForm is my personal password manager.

that router is not supporting the latest standards, WPA3 WiFi 6

I like how you can’t choose WEP as a security protocol, but you’re allowed to choose “NONE”. The router is like “you can choose no security but you can’t choose bad security”

[@airox]

haha fr, but open security is necessary to make the network accessable for everyone

[@cocacolaoficial2018]

How can I choose none?

[@user02v]

my guess is they believe that if you're selecting options for security, confidentiality is required, so they only allow secure protocols as options.

[@newtoniantime8804]

@@cocacolaoficial2018 if there is no select option, radiobutton, checkbox etc for "none" - just try to use null/none characters in the textfield for your password

[@dgggghfhfhfg]

all wifi security is bad lol

[@matthernandez5481]

Dude currently in school for cyber security and any time I come across something I don't understand (which is all the time since I'm completely novice) I type it in the search bar and your videos come up. literally every thing I have searched you have a video on. You are a life saver!

[@DrinkingStar]

WOW. I have viewed several of your tutorials and I am totally blown away by how good they are. With your tutorials, you remove the complexity of the internet and how all the devices( PCs, printers, cell phones, etc.) are tied together and tied into the internet . They simplify, clarify and with illustrations perfectly and concisely explain things. Thanks.

[@aaronbarragan8339]

I’ve learned so much in one day by binge watching your videos, great job!!!

[@Dalai33]

There hasn't been one occasion that i would come to your channel and i dont find the answer i need in less than a few minutes. Thank you !

WEP: wired equivalent privacy, earliest protocol. 40 bit encryption, too weak no longer used. WPA: wifi protected access. Uses TKIP (temporal key integrity protocol) to keep changing the keys as its being used. WPA2: stronger than WPA, uses AES (advanced encryption standard) WPA3: most advanced WPS: designed for people who know little about wireless networks, doesn’t require entering a password. Requires pushing a WPS button on the router and on the printer/device to connect the router and printer. Access control: can block specific MAC addresses from getting on the network

[@Alien-cr8qk]

How about wep with 128 bit encryption? Is it still too weak?

[@igorthelight]

A few additions: WPS - you push the button and ANYONE could connect to your network for a few minutes. Access control - blocks/allows by MAC address that could easily be changed. If hacker would know your MAC address - he could easily mimic it.

[@astrarai-thesobercoder]

Interesting scenario. Thanks for posting.

[@astrarai-thesobercoder]

@Mostafa, notes appreciated. Thank you.

[@karlostj4683]

It wasn't just that WEP was 40 bits. Its cipher protocol itself made it weak security. In 2001, researchers showed that just by listening to the packets in a WEP-(allegedly)protected network, they could discover the decryption key in less than a minute with ordinary computer hardware. Claiming that WEP provides even weak security will lead someone to believe their WEP WiFi network is secure. At least when using no security you KNOW your network is not secure.

[@Ira20169]

Explanation is so well even a lay man can understand & learn easily ..

[@The_Rizz_Lord_]

@@PowerCertAnimatedVideos If any device can use wps to connect to the wifi network, then where is the security in that. ? And how will wpa2 protect the network from hackers in such a case. ?

[@deankay4434]

This getting crazy! I truly understand the need for companies gas, water, electrical & the State to need hard to hack, but I am 65 and had internet only, router failed. Then it started as new one came, called and turned, tv failed as sound but black screen, then wife's tv failed. Older laptop as 5 dead are stacked including Mac Air, and a 2 year HP wireless printer. All show connected, but none sent warranty info, print or can see the tv work. Crazy, it is like the sun is up, but still dark! I have 6.5hrs. invested in the internet company and now learned a bunch from your video. I correctly repaired vehicles at dealerships for 4 decades plus 7 years in apprenticeship. I can program a PCM on a new Buick to run but can't turn on a TV? My laptop was able to use ethernet to access SSID, PW, and change security but not now. Printer changed, kitchen TV changed and it was off. I am afraid to touch a button as I will loose everything, back to square one. DK, ASE Master Since 78, retired.

[@hamidrezabokharaei5779]

Love the way you say WPA2 is so secure! Actually it's vulnerable to brute force AND dictionary attacks once you capture the handshake.

[@stephensnell1379]

However,it's way more secure than WPA

[@hamidrezabokharaei5779]

@@stephensnell1379 I respect your opinion. WPA2 is more secure when compared to WPA. However, I know that WPA2 and WPA are both vulnerable to brute force and dictionary attacks. WPA uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) and WPA2 uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), which means the latter uses a stronger encryption algorithm.
