Wi-Fi Standards are like versions of wireless internet. The most common ones are Wi-Fi 4 which is 802.11n, Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), and Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax). Each new versions provides faster internet, better range and compatible with many other devices. WIFI 6E is technically the newest and uses cleaner 6GHz band for less interference. To keep Wi-Fi safe, encryption is used. The oldest type is WEP, but its technically weak compared to others and considered not safe to use. Then came out WPA, in which now it is widely known and used for being much stronger. WPA3 is the newest and even mor secure as well. Considering the best type of encryption today, it is AES, which is much stronger and protects your data as well. For a more secure network, always use WPA2 or WPA3 with AES encryption. This helps keep your Wi-Fi safe from hackers and unwanted access from other users in the future.
