Secured my wireless..........finally

I had always stayed up on the fact that wireless was inherently insecure and that there were some steps that you needed to take to properly secure it, but I never did anything about it.  Well, last weekend, I opened up my laptop at home and saw that my neighbor had installed a wireless network.  Since I could get into his, I decided that this was a bad thing and I locked my down, finally.  I hope that no one has been wardriving through the neighborhood...........................

Did you use WPA? 'cuz if not, then your network is still not "locked down", it's just less convenient to get into. WEP and other techniques are easily bypassed, unfortunately.

How did you lock it down? Was it a vendor specific method or using WEP as GAD mentioned above?
