  So strong password with no commonly used "came-from-dictionary" words, with vowels replaced by numbers, can help make your network secure. But there's more than that. If you update your router's firmware, wireless network drivers, and download WPA2 Update for Windows XP Service Pack 2 , then you can use WPA2 (better than WPA and WEP). Don't use WEP - WEP stands for Wired Equavelancy Protection and you can configure it for either 64-bit or 128-bit encryption. But there's a catch-because you're creating a hexidecimal password (0-9 and A-F (A is 11 and F is 16)), no matter how strong you make it, hackers will find a way to crack the hexidecimal password. But keep in mind - some devices may only accept WEP and some devices may accept both WEP and WPA. So better check the user's manual for wireless encryption support.
