WPA3
WiFi Protection Access 3
WPA3 encryption is geared to be better than previous iterations of WiFi technology. First, like the move of browsers Google Chrome and Firefox to warn or outright block users from connecting to insecure web servers, WPA3 security discards older encryption mechanisms in favor of ones that have not been broken.
Granted, nothing lasts forever in the world of security, but WPA3 Encryption is covered by 256-bit Galois/Counter Mode Protocol (GCMP-256) so that makes breaking through the encryption harder.
WPA2
WiFi Protected Access 2
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) is an encrypted security protocol that protects internet traffic on wireless networks. The second-generation of the Wi-Fi Protected Access security protocol, WPA2 addresses earlier flaws and offers more powerful encryption. Since its introduction in 2004, it has become the standard for Wi-Fi network security.
Your internet router creates networks and manages data sent and received by your connected devices. That makes your router vulnerable to security threats, since private data is valuable to hackers.
Along with its predecessors WPA and WEP, WPA2 uses encryption technology to scramble data so it’s indecipherable to hackers. Among all these security protocols, WPA2 offers the most sophisticated levels of encryption.
Width
Bandwidth
The maximum amount of data transmitted over an internet connection in a given amount of time. Bandwidth is often mistaken for internet speed when it's actually the volume of information that can be sent over a connection in a measured amount of time – calculated in megabits per second (Mbps).
Just for all you speed freeks, The above is what you found useful. Depending on your needs you can stream nicely with only 25 mbps. If you are doing large downloads then that where bandwidth comes into effect and the faster the better depending on how much $$ you are willing to spend. I just lowered my bandwidth from 800 mbps to 100 mbps and saved a fair amount of $$.
Webmail
Webmail
Software run by an ISP or online service that provides access to send, receive, and review e-mail using only your Web browser. Users can simply enter the Webmail Web site URL in their browser's address or location field, and use their Webmail account by t

Web Server
Web Server
Web servers are computers that deliver (serves up) Web pages. Every Web server has an IP address and possibly a domain name. For example, if you enter the URL http://www.webopedia.com/index.html in your browser, this sends a request to the Web server whos
WAN
Wide Area Network
A wide area network (WAN) is a geographically dispersed telecommunications network. The term distinguishes a broader telecommunication structure from a local area network (LAN).
Your router/wireless router, cable modem connects to the WAN.
VPN
Virtual Private Network
an arrangement whereby a secure, apparently private network is achieved using encryption over a public network, typically the internet.
Be careful and do your research. Remember you get what you pay for. VPN's do provide more security then normal internet connections although they are typically slower. Many of the VPN providers have additional software like password managers and more. I strongly suggest you so some shopping around.
VGA
Video Graphics Array
(VGA) refers specifically to the display hardware first introduced with the IBM PS/2 line of computers in 1987, but through its widespread adoption has also come to mean either an Amplitude Modulated computer display standard, the 15-pin D-subminiature VG
