Use WPA-PSK.
You can't use WPA Radius unless you have a RADIUS server. Which you won't. RADIUS servers are used by large companies to manage authentication for many users.
WPA-PSK stands for WPA - Pre Shared Key.
You create a "key" on your laptop and access point. This key is then used to generate dynamic WEP keys, which in turn are further hardened by the use of TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol).
Make sure your key is at least 12 (preferably 20) characters long. And
don't use a simple word. Use something random or a mixture of letters and numbers. It will make your WLAN almost impossible to hack.
