WPA security with a strong, random, long passphrase is what they
should implement. Don't bother with WEP or MAC based filtering,

Unless your hardware does not support WPA, then use what you have. Even though it is easily broken, you should be using something until you replace the hardware. And you *should* replace the hardware if it does not support WPA
