Hello Irish Guy;
You connect to the wireless router though your web browser using the address in the wireless router manual.
The WEP and SSID info will be in the Security section of the router's setup & admin options.

If you don't have the WEP key nor the admin password to the router, you might only be left with the factory reset option. Check your manual and/or call the manufacturer tech support for how to do that. If you are feeling adventurous, you can also try to hack WEP, but my guess it that it might be a bit too technical for you.

hold the reset button pushed in for about 30 sec.

log into the router by using the default username and password info found in the manual.

change the router password

setup wireless security. WPA2 is preferred
