Wireless Security Settings

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

I have a new wireless access point. For use in office what security settings
would you recomend?

I have used network authentication open, and WEP, and on the access point I
have used 128 bit encryption.

Regards
