Your SB5120 is not a wireless device. I think that you are confusing the cable modem with the wireless router. New modems may have a wireless feature.
I assume that your modem is hooked up to a router that has a wireless feature and you are trying to set up or re-set the WEP encryption key.
Try searching for a manual under the router name.
You can always bring the router back to its original default state by pushing the re-set button, located on the back of the device. It is usually a small hole about the size of a paper clip near the on-off button. While the router is powered on, push the point of a pen into the hole for about 10 second. Then you can go through the router menu and reset all the passwords, WEP keys and other parameters.
If you need help on how to access or set up the router menu, please comment. Also let me know if this information helped you.

What is a wep key and how do i find it
A WEP key is a security code used on some Wi-Fi networks. WEP keys allow a group of devices on a local network (such as a home network) to exchange encoded messages with each other while hiding the contents of the messages from easy viewing by outsiders. WEP keys are chosen by a network administrator. WEP keys are set on Wi-Fi Routers and other wireless network devices. Matching WEP keys must be set on each device for them to communicate with each other.

We are trying to sign on to our home network but the WEP key, after entering, keeps saying settings are invalid. What exactly is the WEP key? What do we need to do?
Are you trying to connect to your internet connection for wireless? If it is, the WEP key is the password that you set up for your wireless device so that devices that can see the your wireless network will be able to connect by entering the right WEP key. If you didnt change the WEP key of your modem or router, then the default WEP key will be found at the back of your device, but if you had changed it before then, that's the WEP key that you need to enter.

Matching WEP keys must be set on each device for them to communicate with each other. The length of a WEP key depends on the type of WEP security (called "encryption") utilized:
  • 40- / 64-bit WEP: 10 digit key
  • 104- / 128-bit WEP: 26 digit key

You will need to find the WEP key in your router's administration page and then enter it on your xbox under the system settings then network settings.

I need wep key westell model 327w
Unfortunately, no one could not provide you any WEP key. WEP is a key that you set to your router so that no one could connect to your wireless network. As an owner of the network, you should know what your network key was.

If you forgot your WEP key, you need to reset the router to factory default, configure it and set a new WEP key.

That is the only way. Thank you!
