Is 128 bit wep any more secure than 64 bit wep?

This is in context of an apartment building.

The wifi router in question, unfortunately does not support WPA.

How much security do its owners really have?

As a previous post says, look at
http://www.aircrack-ng.org
It claims 3-5 min is enough time to collect enough info ( using active
techniques) to crack 128 bit WEP.
Of course your attacker must want to crack you,and must have the tools to
do
so. Unfortunately neither of those are under your control. Thus, yes, WEP
is better than nothing. But if y our attacker is determined, it is not much
better than nothing. If he is not, then you should be fine.
