I have been using WEP with 128bit encryptions. I read somewhere that WAP with PSK is a better protection than WEP. Is this correct? The reason why I ask is that with my first wireless router (Draytek Vigor 2600G) the tech guy advised me to just use WEP. Is he right? He never gave me any reasons why (I admit I never asked). Now I have changed to a D-Link wireless ADSL router modem (all-in-one) and Belkin pc-card (the story behind the change is another story). Works perfectly so far. So, I'm using WEP.

Also, should I turn off SSID?

Many thanks.
