WEP is totally insecure, it can be broken in less than an hour.

WPA is a lot better, basic security is

change your Essid(Network name) to something hard to guess using different characters, e.g. I might want to use Entwisi so I would do 3n!wi51

Then I would disable teh broadcast of this.

I would enable WPA witha suitable key

And I woudl lock my router to known MAC addresses only.

Beyond this if they really want info off your network they will kick your door in and take the PC.

Remember that even with no encyrption etc on all HTTPS websites are still secure as the SSL layer is still out the realm of hackers ability.
