WPA/WPA2 has been cracked in concept, but only by using a dictionary attack. If you use the longest PSK (Pre-Shared Key) possible within your router and that string is a random set of characters, see my first reply in this thread for a link to a page that generates these strings for you, then you will
in theory still be vulnerable. In practice, the hackers will have died of old age before they crack a 64 character random character sequence using a dictionary attack. Using a PSK comprised of words you can read, even if they aren't in a normal dictionary will leave you
relatively vulnerable, but in reality as long as there's others within range that are using no encryption or WEP then they will move onto those easier targets first.
