If you login to the router with a wired connection, you can check
the status of the wireless.
Frankly, that router does not provide you with proper security as it
only supports WEP (not to mention it is b only). For security
reasons alone, you should consider replacing it with a modern router
that supports WPA2. If you have older computers with older operating
systems and wireless network cards that don't support WPA, consider
the risks - data theft, identity theft, etc.
