wep key??

[Jim <lawrence jim gmail com>]

hi after installing the drivers for my wireless  and getting it to work
i want to secure the connection.  i edit the network device and insert
the wep key used
i can't connect to my router anymore.
should i use a different encryption ( yes i know that wep isn't as
secure as others but for simplicity )
any help would be appreciated.
i would also like to connect to this AP everytime i boot up if i go to
a different AP i would like to have a script or a different script i
can choose .

thanks
