Wireless Connection Gone Crazy

How do I find my WEP Network Key?

Hi everyone!
New here and I need some help with my wireless connection.

The above link is VERY similar to my problem but the only difference is that I am using Linksys.
I am not really sure what the brand of my Linksys is.

Anyways, I am currently using an unsecured connection (very low connection

) and I need help getting my other connection I use to have back. I don't know what happened, all I remember is this popup screen saying (well I think I remember it saying) what connection are you using, and this dropdown list appeared, and in the list it said: "Work, Home, etc." I selected Home then all of a sudden, my connection went down and my wireless connection got renamed to Wireless Network Connection 3 (and I believe I had Wireless Network Connection 2).

What did I do?

By the way, when I double click my network, the network key screen comes up and both boxes (network key and confirm key) are blank. Last time I remembered, I selected an option to ALWAYS remember my product key but now it's gone! I don't know my network key........ x(

What should I do???
