How can I test my router for weak encryption keys? WEP and WPA..

What do you mean by test it? Do you want to try and figure out what kind of key it is using right now, or do you want to set up a key and make sure it's working?

gizmo, It does only depends on the length of the encryption, WEP 64 bit can be cracked in 2 minutes while 128 bit can take up to 10 mns and WPA can take forever, So it's not the key you choose, it's the length of the encryption u chose

If you're using WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK and your PSK is short (<20 letters) and it's a "normal" word (from the dictionary) it's possibe to hack it. WPA2 is a bit more secure but good PSK is important.
This article describes details about hacking WEP/WPA. Unfortunatelly it's not free but maybe you can find a printed version of this magazine in your country in some library or you can just buy the article.

This gyst of most of those articles is this
WEP is weak, WPA is not (as long as your key is around 21 characters)
