Abstract :
Wireless networks are an integral part of life for many residential properties. The use of laptops and smartphones has lead to a large increase in the number of wireless networks. The research within this project revealed how residential users were securing their networks, this research mirrored a previous investigation into wireless security from 2009, as well as a comparison with other authors work dating back to 2006 and 2007. These findings were then analyzed and reasons behind the positive trend in encryption utilization were examined.
