Insecure is an understatement...how about completely and easily hackable without third party security mechanisms.
WEP does not provide security to the wireless network...just a speed bump.

However, what about using the 64 bit or 128 bit WEP encryption that comes with the router (such as linksys). Isn't that good enough? Where can I get more info on locking down wireless?
