WEP can now be cracked in 2 min

104-bit WEP, a very common security mechanism for 802.11b/g/n home and office WiFi networks can now be cracked in as little as one or two minutes with a standard computer. That the security mechanism could be broken easily is not new news, but that it can be done so quickly, with standard hardware, is.

If you want to secure your home network, consider using WPA or WPA2. Use WPA2 if your hardware supports it. Look through the documentation for your wireless router and wireless network card to figure out how to implement WPA.
