To secure old Linksys APs you have to hook them to a RADIUS server and configure them to use 802.1x. Next set the RADISU server to use EAP-TLS (EAP-TTLS is OK too), a 128 bit key, TKIP and MIC and you are in business. This is essentially WPA, but with a 128 bit rotating WEP key instead of AES. But IIRC the new Linksys WRT54G does already support WPA, so you can use that (just don't use a pre-shared key, it is just as unsafe as a 48 bit WEP key is).
