Hi,

Which security / authentication method you choose solely depends on whether or not the network and the devices attempting to connect to said network support the method in which you want. For example, not all devices support connection and authentication to WPA2-PSK so you'll have to use WPA-PSK, etc.

WEP is by far the weakest, and in today's security standards I would never recommend using it. Use WPA2-PSK with AES if your network and devices support it. If not, fall back to TKIP. If WPA2-PSK is out of the question entirely due to device and or network restrictions, use WPA-PSK with AES / TKIP.

AES offers stronger encryption however not all devices support it. TKIP is a little less stronger in terms of encryption but is widely supported by many devices on the market.
