I have a new wireless access point. For use in office what security settings
would you recomend?

I have used network authentication open, and WEP, and on the access point I
have used 128 bit encryption.

Regards

Enable firewall protection (probably set by default)
Disable SSID broadcast (you don't want to advertise)
Enable wireless MAC filter (allow only known PCs)
Enable WEP encryption (64 bit is probably sufficient)
