If your router has WEP security turned on, you will need to change your WEP authentication type to 'WEP-Shared.' These settings can be found under 'Authentication Type' on the 'Home Network' page. Please note that changing this security setting will affect other wireless devices on your network. Your devices will need to be reconnected using the updated security settings.

2Wire router's have a default WEP key listed on a sticker on the router, typically by the barcode. See the image below for an example:
