Bottom line, WPA-PSK is safer than WEP, WEP encryption something in the past
unless you are using something higher than 128 Bits Key like 450 if I'm right
and this only for Big Security agents or organisations , state body wise not
normal users.
WPA like the password created for an E-mail, if elect a good hard to guess
or crack one then you are safe.

David,

WPA is definitely more secue than WEP. It is actually an upgrade of
WEP since it's been known that WEP's encryption can easily be hacked.
Make sure the router is also capable of WPA since some models don't...
