Have you now set it to WPA? I'd advise on using WPA encryption, even with your reduced power output. There was an episode of the BBC series "The Real Hustle" I saw showing how a couple of guys in the back of a van could drive down the road monitoring wireless network signals from the road outside houses and hack in. They hacked into a guys (WEP) network and monitored his internet activity. Unfortunately, he happened to be booking a fortnight's holiday using his credit card. So, they had all his credit card details, and a nice bonus of the dates the house would be unoccupied!
Your reduced power output will have stopped the guys in a house nearby, but on its own, it may not stop the guys in a van outside. This may not apply to your particular circumstances, I'm just pointing out some potential problems for the benefit of others who may be reading this.
