Protected wireless networks have a key to gain access to it. If your key does not match the key which is set in the router's settings, you get network security key mismatch error.
Check security setting for wireless network in your router settings. Some routers allow to see the key, some mask it with asterisks. If your router masks the key (in router settings), you have to put a new key, if you want to connect more computers.
The WEP key is the encryption code needed to access a wireless router.
You need to log on your router go to security settings for wireless network and change the key. Because of security concerns the key is shown as asterisks (little stars) only. So basically you cannot recover it. The easiest way just to enter a new key. Also look on the bottom of your router, some routers have the wep key labeled on the bottom, if you changed the key from the default, reset your router and it should reset to the default key.
The only way would be to log into your router itself, and disable all security, meaning the DS doesn't need an encryption key. But that's technically unsafe, and you may as well just keep the router using WEP security and enter the encryption key into the DS.
The security key is the password for the wireless router. It'll show up if the wireless encryption is : WEP WPA-PSK (TKIP) WPA2-PSK(TKIP) WPA-PSK (AES) WPA2-PSK (AES).
The key code, often referred to as the Wi-Fi password or security key, is typically located on a sticker on the bottom of the router. This sticker may also include the default network name (SSID) and other information. If you cannot find it there, consult the router's manual or the manufacturer's website for further assistance.
try setting the router back to factory default, manually put in a wep security key (instead of letting it generate one), set the router to 54Mbps.
