I work for an ISP and we are looking to buy a bunch of wireless routers to give to our custs w/ the service if they want them. I'm looking for a brand of router to order that has a default WEP key that would be printed on the bottom of the router (mac address used for WEP or SN used for WEP) or something similar to that. Does anyone know any brands? Thanks
I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

The only wireless router I have seen with a built in WEP key is a BT Home Hub issued by British Telecom.
That is basically a Thompson Speedtouch with customised firmware. So unless you are prepared to customise your own firmware I don't think you are going to get one. Alsoe prepared to lots of help line calls as inexperienced users try to work out what a WEP key is.
