The firmware is like the operating system of the router and may give it improved/more functionality.

Make sure you choose WPA when you enable security. WEP can be cracked in minutes.

WEP, whatever password or passphrase you choose, can still be cracked very easily because the password gets sent with every packet. WPA, on the other hand, is much more secure.
