WiFi Router Recommended Settings

WPA2-Personal => Strongest using AES encryption, recommended for all users. This is best if the Wifi devices and the router is latest. Both can communicate with strongest level of encryption 
WPA/WPA2-Personal => This is a dual mode. IF we have some devices in the network of this router which doesn’t support WAP2-Personal, those devices still will be able to connect using WPA. The newer devices those support WPA2-Personal will still be able to use strongest encryption mode for connection
WPA-Personal => If the wifi router doesn’t allow the setting of WPA/WPA2-Personal, the next choice is WPA-Personal. Less secure, but better than options below. 
WEP-TSN =>  In general WEP mode is obsolete and less secure. However, WEP-TSN mode (Transitional Security Network) allows legacy WEP clients to join and also newer Wifi devices to connect with WPA2 or WPA-Personal. 
WEP-128 - This is less secure than WEP-TSN 

WEP-64 - Less secure than 128 WEP, in terms of key strength.
