I prefer it of course because I work occasionally from home, but it made surfing on an old single core P4 laptop slowwwww...It also MAY introduce a lag to the router itself if it's not optimized for WPA2, extra overhead in them interweb packets. Then again I'm using 128 character key for security probably overkill but it's work so better safe then sorry.

Finally don't be fooled by a false sense of security as well, WPA2 is the best you can currently get, but I'm pretty sure it's still breakable, it's just much harder then WEP is.
