WPA2 is as good as it gets for now. I mean still practical for a home user. If you use MAC addresses you can further control connections to your network. It's just a little longer to set up but it's a one of and then you can leave it as is. Only recognised devices will be able to connect as it's restrictive. Hiding your SSID is like shoving you head in the sand. Any kiddy will find it in about 5min or so. Just make your pwd long and mixed with symbols and alpha numeric characters.
