Security with Netgear 614 WPA + TKIP

I friend of mine just got a netgear 614 that only had WPA + TKIP
available as its highest option. I turned off SID Broadcasting. I
had hoped netgear would ship these routers with WPA2 + AES, maybe
there is a firmware I don't know about. Is the security sufficient or
should I try to get them to get another router.

Thanks,
Pete

That won't help. Leave SSID broadcast on.

WPA is sufficient.
