Well like I said hiding your SSID isn't going to cut it. You need WPA2-PSK it will work perfect if you unhide your SSID. It changes key every-time your device connects, making it much more difficult to intercept the key or keys. WEP uses the same key every time you connect so hackers intercept pieces of the key then eventually assemble all the info until they get the hole key. I know you feel better when the network is "Hidden" but is it really? If it was nothing would ever find it. As far as I know WPA2 has not been hacked it is secure.
