802.11g security question

Hi I'm new to the wireless world, but I recently setup a wireless access point with a linksys WRT54G running HyperWRT firmware. I'm currently running WPA2 personal security setting and turned off SSID broadcast is wondering if there's stronger security available than WPA2 personal, I did see enterprise version wasn't sure how to set it up or if it will be more sucure. Can someone offer some insight on wireless security?
 
There are propriety securities as well as variation of RADUIS Server that provide more security. If your question is related to Business, make sure that the right budget is prepared (ISA Server is a $1500 product).

However, on a Level of regular use, WPA2 is it, and it is good and if people tell you they can break it in a functional way, send them to meet a Yeti, or use this Helmet (http://www.stopabductions.com/ )

Wireless Security for Small Network.

WEP, WPA, and WPA2

thx Jack, I be sure to send them one of these Helmet. :] Helpful links as well. But I'm surprised how many people don't actually turn on any encryption, for instance outta the three neighbors I have 2 of them run 11g without any encryption, so I can log in and out of their routers easily. I even get like a nice 30% connection off them sometimes. So I think having a WPA2 in this neighborhood is plenty protection, any war driver will surely go for one of my neighbors machines.
