Have been told that WEP is not secure and, in any case, could not get 
our two Droid phones to connect to the WEP setup. They would see it, 
we'd password in then it would look for network IDs and fail to finish 
the connection.

The phones connect to WPA but the Cube doesn't. Unless there's a 
different, modern security setting/method that the original Airport card 
in the Cube (not Airport extreme) can use that is better than WEP, and 
usable by the Droids ...

The router is an Airport Extreme base station.
