Mainly, it depends on what you're trying to secure:
the value of it remaining un-compromised, and what it would
take to redo all from scratch.

IOW, allowing unrestricted access to your lan from anyone
in radio range makes it ALL vulnerable.

Your only hope of security for wireless access is WPA. Maybe
a RADIUS server would simplify.
