Not connecting to the router from the router setup admin page. But since I can't connect to the router from the admin page I would't be able to connect to the internet either.
I have the wireless NIC Mac address loaded into the router so I'll set the WEP to shared access and I'll also check to make sure that the SSID and passphrase are both the same for the NIC and router. BTW I did get my PSP last Sunday from EBgames for $195.95 and got it to connect to the router last night. All I had to do was to load the PSP's MAC address into the router's access list and set the router to use both 802.11g and b since the PSP uses 802.11b to talk to the router. I'll set the security on the PSP much latter. My main priority now is to get this Wireless WEP security issue corrected. I should use WPA instead for both.

You're only giving half of the equation. You say you're setting up WEP security on your wireless router. Are you then setting this up on your wireless network card on whichever PC your're trying to connect with? You say "no internet connection outside router", do you mean from a PC connecting to the router or from the router status on the admin page of the router? If you use the passphrase on router, you either need a wireless card that will use a passphrase or you'll have to type in the full hex key. (I would always use 128-bit, since although WEP is not the most secure at least don't make it any easier!). If you have the MAC addresses of your wireless card(s) loaded into the router you will need to use Shared, otherwise use Open access.
