I just read that the WAP11 supports WEP, but not WPA. And there was never
a firmware upgrade which supported WPA.
So, I wouldn't use it unless you really have to.
Like you said, you can get WPA-enabled wireless routers for under $40.
Or, you could get a fancy one, such as

You can also run Linux on this router, which would allow you to increase
security if you need to.
