I dont know if this is in the right thread. But I need alot of help with tradeing. I cant connect to the wfifi because i dont know my wep key. Is there any way to recover it or create a new one to take the old ones place?
It's probably listed on the router somewhere. It is most likely either a 26 character long hexadecimal string (numbers 0 - 9 and letters A - F) or a 10 digit number; look around on your router for it. If you can't find it on your router, you'll need to flash the router bios.

I have a video link in my sig that shows you everything. I would put it here but I need 15 posts to post links. Please help. I want to play on Wi-Fi D:

are you sure that it is properly fitted in the usb slot???

try putting it in when it comes up with that message instead of putting it in before lading the setup
see if that'll work
I have put it in when the message came up... I'm trying again right now to see if it will work for me...

EDIT: I tried again and nothing... When it came up to insert it into the usb port I put it in and it went through till the end then came up saying to put it in to the usb port when it was in there. It was in there securely and it fitted properly.

Do other USB devices work in that port, or at all for that matter? Have you tried using a different USB port on your computer (most computers have at least two USB ports)?

I used every single usb port on my computer.... Nintendo doesn't have a section for this so I'm thinking on sending them a e-mail sometime today.

I don't believe that device is supported by them anymore due to a lawsuit. Do other USB devices still work? Also, if you have a wireless router, you should be able to connect to that without having to route through your computer.

You could always try third party software for the USB connector. I'll give you a link if you're willing to try.

Yes, you do. Try going to the link that is displayed on the sticker of your wireless router. Login and you should be able to find your WEP key that way.

Yes other USB devices still work... And I don't have a wireless router unfortunately...

That would be great thanks.

For some reason, the Nintendo wifi USB is a strange one.
It works when I FIRST install it, but when I turn off my computer, or restart it, it dies.
The only way to make it work again, I have to uninstall and install again.

How annoying.

I am having some problems,
i have wireless internet (but not with this computer)
and it has a password on it and its security is WEP-AESK
or something like that, and i can connect my ps3, wii, laptop and pretty much everything.
except, my DS. as it only supports WEP.
Is there anyway to have wifi on my DS without changing the password security?
as WEP is too basic and unreliable.

P.S i know the password so relax, i am not hacking. ;)

Sorry. Nintendo demonstrated a complete lack of foresight when deciding what encryption protocol to support; even when they made the DS, problems were already cropping up with WEP, and yet they refused to support superior encryption methods like WPA. You're out of luck, I'm afraid.

I have a problem. Since the DS isn't compatible with WPA security, I want to change it to WEP. Problem is, I don't know how. I tried going on Nintendo's Wifi Support thingy but my Router wasn't listed there. It's a SMC SMC8014W-G router. Can someone please help??

Oh, and don't post replys to this telling me that WEP is retarded or whatever, I know they security isn't as good as WPA, I just want to change it.

Alright, I recently upgraded my internet, but it's unfortunately non-WEP. I've attempted to contact Nintendo, only to be met with "You have reached us outside of our operating hours." What I need to know is if I have to use WEP for Nintendo wifi. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
