WiFi terminology has been inherited from the standards side with no
attempt to make it more accessible ...

Diagnosis at a distance is difficult but here goes...

1. If your internet access has been upgraded this should have no affect
on your WiFi set up. WiFi is purely internal to your network so unless
they changed the settings on your wireless base-station (or router, or
access point, or whatever you are used to calling it) nothing should
have changed. So, the first question is: what exactly did they
"upgrade". Did they mess around with your WiFi wireless settings?

2. WEP is an old deprecated standard. No one who knew what they were
doing would "upgrade" to this. The current domestic standard is WPA,
normally (in the UK at least) WPA with TKIP or WPA2. If you have been
given a password that is not a hexadecimal number (using the characters
0 - 9 and A -F [or a - f] only) - in other words just a normal password
then you have a WPA set up.

If you can check on or confirm the above that will help with what we
suggest next.
