Nokia N80 (Orange) Wi-fi Issue

Just received my Nokia N80 (on Orange) and I'm having issues getting the
Wi-fi to work. It seems if you want to connect to a secure network (for
example the network in my house) I have to manually define the access point.
This is fine except when I try and define the access point and enter the WEP
key (we have 64 bit encryption) it will only allow me to enter a 5 digit key
(mine is 10 digits). Tried changing from ASCII to Hex entry, but no luck,
and tried changing the WEP key on the router from 10 digits to 5 digits,
still getting NO REPLY FROM GATEWAY.

Anyone help on this? I got the N80 for it's WLAN capabilities; can't help
thinking it's been kept as difficult as possible in order to force people to
use the SP's GPRS at ££££ per MB!!!!!

Thanks!

I had no difficulty in configuring mine, I use 128 WEP and I let the N80
autodetect the network, I then entered the WEP key in ASCII format and
it wanted 13 characters which is what I expected.
