Didn't know they did them wireless.

Chances are its not the router then and your ISP (Talk Talk) when I first got them the connectivity was rubbish. Sorted itself out now though.

But if you can connect through a different unsecured network then go with that. Yes I how I shouldn't really say that but hey.

I've had similar things in the past, a full factory reset on the router and re-entering the username and password (into the router) sorts it out for me.

I have had a problem the same. This had nothing to do with the wep key, but was more my computer and the router. Most of the other computers had no problems, wireless or wired. At home it would hold on fine... turns out the router will some times drop the Ip address and then you have to reset the wireless connection on your computer. It may well be you might need to replace the router. If you have no problems holding on to some other wireless then Im more down the iffy router.

He's right though, hence the "Equivalent" after the "Wired".
