Looks like repeater boxes that do WDS support WEP but not WPA. Are WDS networks then inherently not secure?

A few WDS implimentations claim to work with WPA-PSK. For example DD-WRT supports WPA-PSK but only if you setup the network for 802.11g only. If you enable 802.11b, you're stuck with WEP. Also, DD-WRT does not support WPA2-PSK and does NOT work between v23 and v24 firmware.
WEP is very insecure and is easily cracked. Whether it's running with WPS is irrelevent as anyone that can crack the WEP key, can connect to the WDS AP/bridge.

The D-Link DWL-G700AP - really an access point - can be setup to function as a repeater with the newer firmware and it also supports WPA-PSK (TKIP) in repeater mode.
