Entering the "128 bits 26 hex digits" code for my router does not work, I believe I need to enter a "WEP 40/128-bit Key", but when I select this, the "Connect" button is greyed out and I cannot enter the code.

John,

According to the IEEE, WEP-40 and WEP-104 "have been deprecated as
they fail to meet their security goals".

You should instead use WPA2-AES or, if that is not possible, WPA2-PSK.
