Once they were on your network there`s no end of mischief they can potentially do, besides using your Internet. Everything from sniffing your online passwords to stealing your porn from the computers themselves.
Having file sharing turned off would probably slow down any direct access to the data on the computers it was running on but i`d still call "game over" i think.
Once the thing is unplugged though then not even the most determined cracker will be getting in to it via that route. best security in the word that is... 
To reiterate what i said before your whole network is only as secure as it`s weakest point, namely the WEP enabled access point when it`s switched on....well, as far as the wireless in concerned anyway.

The only section I can see is the DHCP client list... and as that is turned off, no joy there. In addition, I've read that in fact the DHCP list can be easily bypassed by using a static IP.
So to clarify, if someone managed to get on, then unplugging the WEP router would 'boot' them off? And then if I plugged it in again, they would have full access once again?
