I have this setup:
Main rig wired into router.
Laptop, wireless connection to router.
Media player, wireless connection to router.

I have set up MAC filtering, it is not broadcasting SSID, WEP encryption 128 bits.

The questions are, I have 4 keys generated. Should I use a different key for each wireless device? What if I use the same key? Is this reasonably secure?

On your router, you select which key you want to use. key 1 is usually defaulted. so, on ALL of your devices, you would use key 1.

The set up you are going for is the best setup you can do. MAC filtering with a non broadcasted SSID is perfect. the addition of 128 WEP is okay too because itll disuade someone from monitoring your traffic. The only thing I would suggest is- if you have WPA/PSK encryption, use it instead of WEP. because WEP is crackable.
