How do you WEP-enable a Motorola router and Airport Express?

I recently switched from a Cable Internet>Airport Extreme>Airport Express set up to a Cable Internet>Motorla VT5242 wirless router>Airport Express set up. I switched configurations because I got Vonage service with the Motorla wireless router. Everything seems to work fine - I have internet on my iMac, I can connect my laptop to the internet wirelessly, and my Airtunes works via the Airport Express - EXCEPT I can't figure out how to WEP enable the Motorola router. In fact, I don't even know where to find the Motorola router.

In my old set-up, both the Airport Extreme and Airport Express showed up in the Airport Admin Utility. But with the Motorola Router, it doesn't show up in the Airport Admin Utility and I can't find a way to view the Motorola router in order to configure it. Do I need to download some drivers from Motorola?

I have a the first generation FP sunflower iMac which doesn't have an Airport card, running OSX 10.4.10.

It seem so basic that one should be able to configure a router hard wired to their iMac, but I can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be much appreciated.

iMac FP 800mhz 1GB RAM, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hello adeel kheraj. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!

You won't be able to use the AirPort Admin Utility to configure non-AirPort devices like the Motorola wireless router. Most non-AirPort devices have web-based administrator interfaces.

I suggest start by going to the Motorola Support site to download a copy of the User's Guide for your wireless router. Review this guide to determine how to administer it. You shouldn't need to have to download or install any drivers.
