WPA is better than WEP, so choose that instead!

WPA is a newer standard which is harder to break than WEP. There is a bit of stuff about it in this link

or dont bother with wireless and have wired access points dotted around the house

much safer and cheaper ;)

Much more reliable too!

It's hard work tidily installing cables round a house though - its much quicker to just plug in a wireless base station.
