Hi i've had my wireless router installed for a while now its a belkin wireless router 54mbs etc. Throughout this time i have noticed that my internet speed is being shred amongst more than two computers.. which is the main computer and the additional one computer upstairs. Now I think there are more computers being connected to my network and using my internet.
So what i did next was, go to my providers configuration page i.e. 192.1.. and went to the security section, it then gave me three options to choose from and they were:
1)128bit WEP
2)WPA/WPA2-Personal(PSK)
3)64bit WEP
From the ones listed I dont know which one to choose, what the difference is between them and which is more secure? Can someone help me out in deciding which one to choose please?

wpa is considered more secure but do you understand you have to set both the router and the workstation to it? What does your wkst card support? This should also be covered in the router manual.
