To reduce online attacks?

Which to choose WEP(wired equivalent privacy) , WAP(Wi-Fi Protected Access) in wireless connectivity ?
WAP is better than WEP which is a safer RC4 implementation—for data encryption


Tips to protect wireless networks and online attacks
->donot broadcast SSID (SSID is the network name .It reduces the chances of hacking,but newly emerged technologies like passive war driving can find your SSID even though it is a hidden network)
->choose strong passwords so that it takes more time for hackers to crack as a result of which they loose interest in cracking ur password
->While online transaction,see that there is https:// before the webaddress
