WEP is an obsolete security measure, but it can be used to prevent a neighbor from inadvertently hijacking your connection, while still making it simple for your guests to be able to connect without having to delve into the router's advanced feature settings. AES is faster since encryption is done in hardware. WEP keys are the most confusing system out the, hex keys in rotation. You can use a text passphrase to generate the WEP keys, but there is no guarantee that these text passphrases generate the same key amoung vendors. Setting up WEP or WPA otherwise requires the same configuration effort in terms of configuring the router.

And of these two, if anyone really was interested in hacking into my network, neither would be worth a crap. So I went with the fastest performer of the 2 I had available.
