Default AP's or routers with WEP keys?

Hey quick question folks, Im reading both AP's and routers have WEP keys. Which one actually secures your information? You can't put two keys in right?

Wireless routers (and any other wireless device) can have WEP keys, but not standard routers. A wireless router is really two devices in the same box; a router and a wireless access point, and it is only the access point component itself that uses WEP.
