Loosing network connection after adding airport express

I added an airport express to my network tonight. The network is wep128 secured which did not show up at first on the express. After I added this, I started to be able to play itunes to my stereo and every once in a while it would drop out. I notice, my network was dropping on my computer. I can manually reconnect, but even then it show disconnected by work with itune and my stereo and even works for sending this note. It will drop again soon.

sometime, i need to reenter my wep assword into my laptop and once it actually seemed to erase my passowrd and said the key would be found automatically

I did not setup a bridge, did not setup static ip addresses, my express and my network have the same passord to access them. just trying to think of other deatails.

Any thoughts what is going on?

hello waw74

i am using a belkin wireless router b/g. not my favorite, but it is what I have. I need the ethernet outs for a nas and currently a media player i use for video or I would just can it.

i asked the express to connect to an existing network

i don't think it is my password because i copied and pasted it and it would work for a while and then drop out. it was the same copy and paste i gave to the express to link to the network. not sure about interference but both my cell and microwave are about 40 ft away.

thanks for the advice on wep - when i get home, i will try the wpa. i was also going to try the ProxySTA mode.
