    This is not the only reason that the encryption with 802.11i/AES or WPA/TKIP is so much more secure than the now obsolete WEP method. LANCOM Systems's recommendation for the most secure passphrase  variant is to employ 802.11i (WPA2) in combination with AES. The key should be randomly selected from the largest possible range of num- bers and should be as long as possible (32 to 63 characters).
