Should I upgrade my router to one that supports WPA?

[Denman007]

I currently have a SMC router running NAT & 128 bit WEP and have started changing my keys every couple of weeks. I've been a little concerned about hackers in the neighborhood lately.

Should I get an new router? If so, which one? I currently have 3 wireless devices on my network. I would also have to get a wireless card for my laptop since the built in wireless doesn't support WPA.

you could do as written. However, you can also save the money and still
secure your system. (btw: nice to see the keys being rotated

To secure the NETWORK,

set your own SSID (ie not the default) and disable broadcasting.
also change the default channel​

To secure your SYSTEMS,

map your MAC addresses to get static addresses in consecutive IP numbers
(eg: 192.168.0.2 -> 198.168.0.5)
then set your firewall to

allow everything on that same ip range
and disallow 192.168.0.6 -> 198.168.0.253​

Your worst case exposure would be someone 'borrowing' your internet bandwidth.
