Router owners, READ!
I have this particular model and have upgraded the firmware to DD-WRT.
If you use the factory default passwords, and a weak wireless encryption, better make some changes!

So your routers not on the list? Which probably means they have yet to test it.

I'm running the new Linksys E3000 and have 128K WEP enabled with a pass phrase that has 12 characters that include numbers, special characters and upper and lower case. Good luck hacker!

Yet another great argument for not using the default username and password. They're freely available online, after all. If you can get into your router with one of these usernames/passwords, change it.
Your passphrase is strong, but WEP is fundamentally flawed and trivial to crack. Change your security mode to WPA-AES, or better yet, WPA2.

I agree. WEP is not as secure as WPA.
