| WEP is secure in the sense that it will stop your neighbours
| accidentally straying onto your connection but WEP is nothing to a
| determined hacker and will not stop them for long. WEP can be broken
| relatively easily inside a few minutes. WPA encryption should be used
| wherever possible. It should be no more difficult to set up WPA than
| WEP so there's nothing to loose.
|
| The degree to which your system is really secure also depends on the
| length of your key. WPA keys at 20 characters are reasonably safe and
| those of 24 characters and greater are considered sufficiently
| difficut to deterr all but a malevolent state sponsored attack on
| your connection assuming at some point the power of quantum computing
| is made available to them.

| The BT hubs only use WEP, its secure, but not as secure as WPA. Just
| make
| sure that when using WEP that you use shared encryption.
