Question : WPA -vs- WEP?

Currently, on my Home Office WLAN, I have 128-bit WEP encryption.
I have been advised that this is weak no matter what level of encryption and that I should go over to WPA encryption.
I do not know enough about the "inner workings" of WPA: how to set it up, etc.
I don't know which encryption method is better?
If anyone can help me I would appreciate this!!!

THANKS!

Answer : WPA -vs- WEP?

In short, to set up WPA-PSK (preshared key) you'll need to do the following:
1.) Set up a passphrase (basically a password for the computers to connect to the router)
2.) Indicate which Encryption protocal you'll be using
3.) Set up the machine to connect to the network using the passphrase.

To connect to the router look at your wireless network management app (it can be managed by windows or a third-party application).  Once there indicate you are using WPA-PSK using whatever protocal you choose (for ease of use i'd recommend TKIP) then type in the passphrase and you should be golden.

Passphrases should be created with all the normal constraints of a regular password.  
-At least 8 characters in length
-Combination of upper and lower case letters, as well as numbers
-NOT a dictionary word.

In relation to protocals:
TKIP is an extension of WEP, basically it is a key management protocal which manages symmetric "session" keys and their creation, changes or terminations.
AES is an encryption method similar to DES

TKIP=Easier and more broadly supported
AES= Usually requires specific hardware to run properly
