WEP is a very basic level of wireless privacy. While vulnerable to cracking it is still a decent tool in residential areas where there are a lot of unsecured networks. It acts as a deterrent to web surfers just looking for a quick and easy internet connection.

WEP means Wireless Encryption Protocol Its used in wireless communication. eg: in wi-fi connections

No The WEP key is the key used to encrypt the wireless traffic, so people can't sniff the data and see what your doing. No WEP key, no connect to the network. No router password, and you can't log into the router to modify the WEP key.

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.
A WEP Hex Key is a security code. It is often used with routers so that others are not able to use your Wi-Fi.
No, the WEP key is the encryption code used to access your network. If you did a scan for active networks, the things you see are the 'SSN', the network 'names'.
A WEP key is like a lock that protects your wi-fi connection from being used by "unauthorised people". It's not just for DS games, it's part of the router. If you don't know a router's WEP key, then you aren't authorised to use it.
That doesn't technically make sense - a WEP key is the password used to access an encrypted (one form of encryption at least) router. If you don't have a router, it makes no sense to ask for a WEP key - a WEP key to access what? It's like a key with no lock, the WEP key is for a router.So if there's no router, there's no point wanting a WEP key. If there is a router and you don't know the WEP key, then clearly it's someone else's router, and the encryption is precisely to stop unauthorised people using it.
WEP has been replaced by WPA.
Where is the WEP key?
