The encryption standard your router uses matters as much as the password itself. Here's where each one stands in 2025.
WEPBroken
Cracked in minutes since 2007. If your router still offers it, replace the router.
WPADeprecated
Uses TKIP. Vulnerable to key recovery attacks. Disable it.
WPA2-PSK (AES)Acceptable
Still widely used and safe with a long random key. Vulnerable to offline brute-force on weak passphrases.
WPA3-SAERecommended
Replaces PSK with SAE (Dragonfly handshake), blocking offline dictionary attacks. Use it whenever both router and clients support it.
