Dan,

A good overview of the WEP vulnerabilities is at

Some vendors have already implemented IV randomization in their products (Lucent's latest AP-1000 firmware specifically mentions this in their README).  This will help a lot.  Between this and changing your encryption keys often you should be OK for home usage.  Or you can put your AP on a separate subnet and firewall it off.  That defeats the purpose of "anywhere" access a little bit, but not too much.
