if you really want it secure I recommend using 128 bit WEP, mac filtering 
and blocking all external icmp packets to the wireless router (if that's 
what you're using). Both the encryption can be broken and mac filtering 
bypassed. There will be a new encryption protocol out this summer for all 
wireless routers, I highly recommend getting it when the firmware is 
released for your wireless router.
