    You should never ever us WEP over WPA, there is no reason to do it, the encryption algorithm is completely broken. If you are thinking to switch over to WEP because some hardware device only supports WEP then you need to replace that device and not the encryption. A novice hacker can break into a WEP encrypted network in five minutes and there are a lot of videos teaching how to do this for example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuJtFX9UCzU.

    You need to read the article attached on WiFi security before you change the encryption, its vital
