New AT&T U-Verse (DSL?) user in L.A.: WEP only?

[Ant]

Hello.

Last night, I was helping a client in L.A. with his new slow Internet
connection (only up to 5 Mb/sec download :() that was set up recently. I
was helping him with his wireless network issues, but I noticed his
yellow paper print out said WEP key/wi-fi password for the supplied
modem+router (ATT<number>). Is it really using insecured WEP? Can it use
something stronger like WPA2? :(

Thank you in advance. :)

It's about AT&T computers. And not PCs, either. More info:
