You need to provide a whole lot of information for us to assist you. We know
that you have a Netgear WGT624 wireless router, however, we do not know what
type of wireless notebook card, wireless PC adapter or wireless USB adapter
you have. Please provide the make and model. Are you using Windows and if
so, which version. Still, I will take a shot at attempting to answer your
posted question. First, when you created your WEP key and enabled WEP via
your WGT624 wireless router, did you copy that exact same WEP key to your
wireless client, i.e, wireless notebook card, wireless pc adapter or
wireless USB adapter? If not, you will be unable to communicate with the
WGT624, wirelessly. Your wireless router and wireless client must have
identical WEP keys in order for you to communicate with it. The same thing
goes for WPA-PSK in which your wireless router should support. If both your
router and wireless client support WPA-PSK, use it instead of WEP. In more
secure and, in my opinion, easier to configure. In most cases, all you would
need to do is enter a passphrase in the router's menu and in the wireless
client's menu. In your post, you stated, "....and now I am unable to get
back into my wireless router." If you connect a computer directly to the
WGT624, via an ethernet cable, you should be able to access your router's
menu. As I stated before, wirelessly, you will not be able to communicate
with the WGT624 until you enable WEP on your wireless client AND use the
exact same WEP keys as you did in the WGT624.
