WPA2/ Enterprise is the stronger encryption and will better suit Timothy for his new router.
Key Takeaway: The initial and strongest take away from this should be that WEP is weak. This is the weakest level of encryption and nearly at all costs should be avoided. WEP2 does not exist. WPA2/Enterprise, also in many circles just considered "WPA2" is the strongest level of encryption currently available for modern home routers. While the setup for WPA2 in an enterprise setting can be more difficult to implement, it allows for a stronger level of security as it requires a RADIUS authentication server. WPA2/PSK uses a "Pre-Shared-Key" hence the PSK. This makes it handy for smaller networks; however it is still not the strongest level of encryption.
