The only thing you can do if your Access Point's security settings are not supported by the DS would be to change the settings so that they are supported by the DS. You would have to log-in to your Router's web interface in order to change the settings for your Router.
Pick one (all are applicable) 1. you should prevent physical access to switches, routers, and servers. 2. you should prevent physical access to access points. 3. you should use lockable enclosures for access points or mount them in physically secure locations, such as locked rooms.
there are many separate points of access that pose a security risk

A rogue access point is a wireless access point that is not authorized or controlled by the administrators of the network that it is connected to. Depending on the intended usage, it may or may not use the same SSID as the legitimate access points on the network. Rogue access points are considered a security risk, either because they can allow unauthorized access to the network, or because they may be connected through a sniffer in order to capture network traffic passing through them. Any access point can be considered a rouge access point if connected to the network in an unauthorized manner.

Wireless LAN Switches: The Best Solution There are two types of wireless access points Intelligent (Fat) and Thin wireless Access points. A fat wireless access point has everything it needs to handle wireless clients. A Thin wireless access point is basically a radio and antenna that is controlled by a wireless switch. If you deploy several Fat wireless access points they need to be configured individually. With thin wireless access points the entire configuration takes place at the switch saving you time and money. Wireless LAN Switches provide many benefits: Wireless Mobility - Intelligent access aren't managed in a central location which means there is no third party monitoring the movement of a user. If a user moves to another work area traditional wireless access points have a hard time passing off the user to the new access point. Thin wireless access points are controlled be the wireless LAN switch who will manage the users movement. Security- Using the wireless LAN switch the administrator can check logs, configure is security settings, make group polices for wireless users all in one spot. Also built in to many wireless LAN switches are RADIUS servers which will give another layer of security on top of your encryption policies. In enterprise wireless networks the administrators biggest fear is rogue wireless access points. Wireless LAN switches can detect when a new wireless access point comes into the area and decide if it is a trusted or non-trusted device. Placement - Power over Ethernet is another great feature of wireless LAN Switches. Power over Ethernet eliminates the need for an power outlet to be near the wireless access point. This saves your company money by not having to install new power outlets. Also this improves security by not having the wireless access points within easy reach of passerby's. If you are deploying a wireless LAN for a company I would be scared if you don't utilize wireless LAN switches and wireless thin access points. The upfront costs of these products are more but your total cost of ownership will be less than having to administer each wireless access point separately. To sum it up home owners should stick with Fat access points and businesses should use thin.

Delete the 3G access points so that only the wifi access remains. If that is too radical, you can always set the phone settings to ask first, before accessing the internet, so that the 3G access points aren't used without your approval.

An access point is a general technology term that is used to define a physical device that provides access to a network, most often the Internet. An access point can be a DSL line, a wireless hotspot, or even another computer when placed into ad hoc network mode. Access points are important when assessing computer network security. The term is also frequently used when referring to the protocol that is used to connect to the Internet since different access points can use different protocols.
Here's a quick guide on using the 3DS wifi connection:Open the "Settings" software on the 3DS, it has a wrench icon.When opened select "Internet Settings" on the touch screen.Select "Connection Settings", it's the only blue button on this screen.The 3DS can have up to 3 wifi connections saved on it. It can also connect to Nintendo Zones regardless if it has that access point's settings saved or not.Select "New connection"You will then be asked if you want a tutorial or manual setup, select "Manual Setup".Search for the access point that you want to connect to.You will then see a list of access points that are in range pop up. If your school has a password on their wifi, you will need that password.If the access point is locked with a password enter in the password, if it's unlocked the 3DS will save its settings with the security key as "None".Your 3DS will then perform a Connection Test, this is to ensure that your 3DS is capable to connect to the internet with the settings that it currently has saved. Some schools do have content filters on their wifi, so if a Red X appears on the connection test between "Access point" and "Internet", chances are that the school has a content filter on their internet.If a Red X appears on the connection test between "This System" and "Access Point" that probably means that you either entered the password wrong or the access point rejected the connection.
