Never once used WPS, never trusted it, always disabled. I fucking jumped on WPA2 though, I hated WEP.

A WEP key can be cracked almost instantaneously with modern penetration testing solutions.

Not to mention most WEP keys were usually just 10 digit phone numbers of the place hosting the WiFi, home or business. Most aren't familiar with hexadecimal so they just resort to numbers, and phone numbers (with area code) are the most common 10 digit numbers. Through that practice, it should be no surprise that WPA keys for businesses tend to follow the same trend when switched.
