I heard that WEP is uselss.
So what is your way encryption style for wireless security?

WEP is very bad as it is easily crackable. WPA and WPA2 is fine. Just depends on what your devices you have and what they support.

If you can, use WPA2.
I myself use WPA, since some laptops are unable to conect to WPA2, and it's a PITA when friends come to my house and I must change the settings. If nobody else is going to connect on your house, and you devices support it, use WPA2.
