I've got a Linksys here at home, as well ... WRT54G, and the wireless in it is limited with a 128 bit encryption. Of course, it's not the best in the world and a good hacker would be able to get in in about an hour, but then I don't have that much "wireless" activity, that I really need to worry, even I were running the pentagon here :)
They "could" get in. In about an hour, only if you left your Linksys WRT54G wtih the factory defaults and you were running open ports on your computers.
I do agree that 128 bit could be turned up a lot more; But for the most part it's not easily deciphered "just like that!". It takes work, A lot of work with a very, very fast pc and patience! ;( I too, take security measures with my Linksys WRT54G and network in general pretty seriously.
