do u have ur wap key????????

jigglyppuff8 June 22nd, 2009 3:38 PM

What kind of encryption method did you use to put the password on it? Was it WEP or WPA?

Stratomaster June 22nd, 2009 3:43 PM

once u start up your game at the main menue at the bottom there should be somthing about connection ( INternet or network ) it will ask u to enter your wep if your router is locked, if you dont have your wep it can be obtained through yur internet providers... either ring them up or go to the menu on ur pc go to "network" and i dont know about ur providers set up but my one says "wireless" once u click in there u should see a code with bout 20 or more digits its your wep... use that to gain access to your wi fi connection on your ds... hope this helped

It is a WEP...my mom put a lock on and I know the WEP key...but for some reason its not working...its not like a number or anything its a word she put in and I know its the correct word because I use it on my computer...is there like a second one thats all numbers and stuff?

OOO btw my router is by Netgear incase anyone wants to know

hey mine is by netgear to. hmm..never had a problem quite like this one before...hmm...maybe try asking your mom for help (she probably doesnt have any clue as to what the situation is) and double check the password is correct. if all fails then contact netgear's support number which is
888-638-4327

and tell them the situation or call nintendo ds wifi support which is 1-800-895-1672

That word is a passkey (I think it's called like that), not a WEP key (WEP are very complex and not just words.) So that's why it won't work. You need to get the WEP key, not the passkey. Try to access your router settings and there should be the WEP key somewhere.

Hope this helps,

I've never used this router stuff before...I always stole my neighbors...now they shut theirs off so I gotta learn how to do this...ok so I know my passkey...but I don't understand how to find my WEP key

All Wi-Fi related help should go in the respective thread in the Comp & Tech forum. Please pots there in the future.
