I know this is probably a very dumb question, but a look at the manual
did not help... Configuration: *  Two TPads:
   -  The WiFi adapter on my A30p will only do WEP.  As bad as it
      is, it's still better than nothing.  And most of the time,
      that system is wire-connected.
   -  The new system, T60, can do WPA.
*  Access Point/Router:
   -  Linksys BEFW11S4
      Supposedly, this will do both WEP and WPA.
      BUT, will it do BOTH at the same time?
      i.e.,  Can I set up two profiles and use one for WEP
             for the A30P and another for the T60 with WPA?

NOt usually.  I know of APs that will do dual authentication, but that is WEP or 802.1x where the AP queries a RADIUS server against the login details of the user.  The ZyXel G3000 is supposed to be able to do that.
If this cannot be done, a side question:
=>  Within a given WiFi Profile, there are multiple 'keys'
    that can be selected.  Why multiples?

I guess so that the admin can cycle between four profiles, only having to tell the users to "switch to key x" when the passkey changes, rather than revealing the actual key. Stuart =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
