"Hi, I'm Jason Mac Genius and today we're going to talk about DSL routers how to buy DSL routers. What you want to look for, there's different security levels, most wireless routers are going to have this, but the basic level is WEP, which is wired equivalent protection, and that's pretty much your standard which gives you minimal protection. The Macro S10 has a built in fire wall that you can setup and that's pretty much your security for Macro, we can go into that later. You've got WPA which is Y5 protected access and WPA2 which is Y5 protected access version 2. And the version 2 is, pretty much, most wireless routers are going to come with that, those encryption packages on there, anyway. So, security is kind of your first issue that you want to look for when buying a DSL. And also, speed, and again, if you've got two antennas sticking out on there that's going to give you more power, and more power is more speed. Anything that has more power is good. So, those are the basics of buying a Y5 or a DSL modem. I'm Jason, thanks for watching."
