Um...

Yeah, it works. I know, I've been doing it for 8 months now (obviously not just with the S4, but you get the idea...).

The thing is, it's in the docs that came with your airport card. If you use an access point other than an Airport Base Station and use 128 bit encryption, the dollar sign has to be there. I'm not sure why this is...surely software could check for the presence or lack thereof of a dollar sign, but nonetheless that's the way it goes.

This one falls in the RTM category. ;)

I'm by no means an expert on this stuff but I'm pretty sure that WEP is not secure at all. It also slows down your connection a bit. There are some people who know a lot more than I about this, so do some research if this concerns you.
