The WEP key is able to be uncovered by using a traffic sniffing program. But from talking to a friend of mine, I can tell you that at least 2gb (yes, thats right) needs to be sniffed before the WEP key can be broken. |

Well that's ok then, a password change once a week should keep the network reasonably secure. |
