You put a magnet on the hard drive.
wep and wpa both are encryption standards to make a more secure wifi network, so your xbox needs to have the same wep/wpa code that your router is set to. if you have to choose between wep or wpa, choose wpa if possible because it is virtualy uncrackable and it will save your bacon
Yes you can set up a WEP on any router, but WEP is not very secure.WPA and WPA 2 would be a better way to go.
The WEP key is the encryption code needed to access a wireless router.
It means that your router only supports higher security encryption: WPA-2, your DSI uses WEP Encryption. So you go to Advanced Settings in Set Up Internet Connection and it will show WPA for your wifi connection.
You get it from the person that set up your Access Point. He or she has set it,
A WEP key is set on a wireless router its not a code to play on xbox.live.
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.
Access your router, preferably by wired connection. Then, look for either 'Wireless' or 'Security Settings' and fill in the form. Note that some devices such as the DS Lite only support WEP, and don't support WPA.
The SSID is the 'name' of your wireless network. Just enter that name in, the same as how you did it for your PC/laptop, along with the WEP/WPA encryption key that you set.
No, that is the part number. The WEP key is set by whoever originally set up the network. It is part of the configuration and is usually not recorded on the access point or router.
The original DS and DS lite cannot use WPA encryption. Nintendo did hope to do so, but this encryption mode would require certain components that would have made the console larger and heavier. The only way to get around it, is for your own computer to act as a wireless hotspot, using Nintendo's USB wi-fi adaptor, or similar device. That way your DS connects to your computer rather than directly to the router - all the WPA encryption is handled by your PC itself.
You set up the WEP key when you set up your wireless router.
