    can password be used for WEP?

    when I enabled WEP on my wireless router, it generated 4 keys from a phrase I entered. From my laptop, I had to enter in one of those 10 digit keys, which is impossible to memorize. Am I making this too difficult? It seems like all I should have to type in would be a simple password that I...
