I have have a setup for wifi radio on my 1939 Silvertone radio but cannot use it because my house is not set up for WEP (what the ROKU picks up). I only have my Linksys Wireless G router and a Linksys Access point router, I want to use the main router for WPA2 encryption, and I want the Access point to be setup to use WEP encryption... is this possible or do I need a different setup. Any assistance would be great in this matter.

Yes it will work that way just wire the AP to the main router and set the wireless setting in the AP. Although you could run it on the same SSID i would use different ones just to make stuff to not even attempt to connect where you don't want it to.

BUT using wep anywhere on your network is a huge security risk. It can be cracked in seconds. You are best to attempt to upgrade anything that can only run wep.
