Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) codes are encryption keys used in wireless networks. When configured to use WEP, the network administrator will create a WEP key and then provide it to the network clients. WEP is no longer considered to be secure, and WPA/WPA2 have replaced it in most recent equipment. If you need to access a WEP-encrypted network on your Nintendo DSi, you should talk to whomever owns the network.

If your laptop only supports WEP encryption but your wireless router has a WPA key are you able to use the laptop with the wireless?
If your computer only supports WEP encryption, but the wireless network uses WPA, you will not be able to connect to the network. However, most wireless networks can be configured to use WEP security or no security, which will allow you to connect. The trade-off is that the network becomes less secure. WEP encryption is possible to defeat, and turning off security will allow anyone connected to the network to view all data traffic, including private information. A better option may be to purchase a wireless adapter that supports WPA encryption. WPA was developed to fix the flaws of WEP, and is much stronger.
What is used to control access to a broadcasted wireless network based on a user supplied key?
