Laptop wireless security
«

My Vista Ultimate laptop specifications include:-
wireless: Intel 802.11a/g & N which I understand to be the wireless card.
When connected to the internet via wireless how can I tell whether I have WPA security? Is WPA a required part of my system & if so where can I check it on my computer or is WPA accessed via my connection to my ISP.
After reading dozens of entries on the subject through Google, I am just as confused as ever.

The setting is set on your Modem/Router and you choose either WEP, WPA or WPA2 ( choose WPA2-PSK "AES" if available, if not then WPA) WEP is the least secure.
