Hey, Don't bother with it, WEP can be broken (cracked) in 5 minutes (with easily available and freely downloadable soft) and in my experience all WEP really achieves is slows down the link (my 2xIWE1100 bridge runs at 550kB/s without WEP and 100kB/s with WEP).
The idea, as always, is to make yourself a smaller target than the next guy.
As always, standard: - No SSID broadcast - No Open System access - MAC filtering - WEP - Always VPN
Use WPA/802.1x if you've got it.
