On the security side, what are WEP and WPA?  Security protocols I

Encryption protocols ... WEP is older, and has been cracked. 
It's better than nothing, but if someone really wants to get

WPA is better ... although I don't think it's uncrackable.

Any good links to how to secure wireless networks, or is

that included

with the wireless router?

http://www.broadbandreports.com is always a good resource.
