It is not necessary to protect your wireless signal with an encrytion key, such as WEP, WPA, etc., but keep in mind that if you don't, anyone can access your wireless internet. Unauthorized accessers can slow down the connection and hack whatever else is connected, such as computers, for sensitive information, such as credit card numbers.
The Nintendo DS supports WEP and WPA security ONLY. All other consoles that use wireless support more advanced encryption, such as WPA-PSK.

NO, I would'nt say no but it depends. If the wifi you pick up with your laptop is secure with no WEP or password on it then yes you should be able to connect. If it has a WEP or password on it then you will need the WEP key and password to connect and use the wifi. Also the networks you pick up may be Ad-hoc networks these types will not allow you to connect to the internet. So, If theres no password then yes, If it has a password then you need it.
