I've noticed that a WEP password must be in hex. Make sure you're not using ascii.

how do i check that

If you go to Wi-Fi settings, you will see a list of all the local or remembered SSIDs, you will see a security setting associated with each, such as WEP or WPA.

If you're trying to connect to a WEP router, it looks like the N1 requires your password to be translated to hex. So if your password, for instance, is 'jjets', google 'ascii hex' to find a site where you can convert that to '6a6a657473'

Or a better solution to the above:

If you home Wifi is still on WEP, change it to WPA(2) as soon as.
