Is AES better than WEP?

From my understanding, AES was/is widely used for Government security of encryption. Yes AES will be better than WEP due to the fact it is more powerful. Unfortunatley, most hardware out there will not be able to handle it, and you will end up spending more money, at leaste for a home user to take advantage of it

Maybe on a business stand point, AES will benefit, but as for a home user, WEP will do the trick.

AES? What's that? It wasn't mentioned until the 2nd poster brought It up.

I belive that WPA2 is much better than WEP and AES(Whatever that is), Which is now supported by Windows XP Home & Pro. Go download the update for It If You have not already done so.

And I don't believe AES is supported by XP.

WEP do the trick? WEP is weak and has been broken from what TechTV says.
