    If I understand correctly, TKIP was completely cracked/broken last year and is no longer secure (or put another way, as secure as WEP). Is that correct?

    YES, I was just researching and reading up, WPA2 is a good choice if that is available to you. I have all 3 option on my router, I use WPA2 with AES.

    Which is pretty much the only way to go right now. Of course, not everyone out there will try to hack your wireless network. You can also lower the signal strength if you don't have too large an area to cover. I keep mine on full transmit power though, it's my turn to troll my neighbors with interference, before it was the other way around :p
