Does the router/access point itself not have some kind of "connected devices" section?

And one more question (I'm so needy :P) - IF someone managed to hack into the WEP router, how exactly would that screw me over? Would they then have full access to the WPA2 connection and everything on it? And would they still be able to access my internet even when the WEP router is unplugged? And is there some way to avoid this problem?

Once they were on your network there`s no end of mischief they can potentially do, besides using your Internet. Everything from sniffing your online passwords to stealing your porn from the computers themselves.
Having file sharing turned off would probably slow down any direct access to the data on the computers it was running on but i`d still call "game over" i think.
Once the thing is unplugged though then not even the most determined cracker will be getting in to it via that route. best security in the word that is...
To reiterate what i said before your whole network is
only as secure as it`s weakest point, namely the WEP enabled access point when it`s switched on....well, as far as the wireless in concerned anyway.
