Just as a bit of general advice to anyone setting up a new Wireless modem: please don't use WEP security - always use WPA2. WEP security was broken several years ago, which makes it pretty pointless to use anyway, and it is notoriously unreliable in any event. Any knowledgeable person with the right tools can break into a WEP-secure network within a few minutes. WPA2 uses a much stronger encryption algorithm, and to my knowledge has yet to be hacked.
