How do I change My WPA key to a WEP key? - Blitz - Feb. 21, 2009

I want to be able to get my Nintendo DS on Wi-Fi again as It stopped working once our BTHomeHub was updated to the newest version.
I know it's because It has a WPA key instead of a WEP key and I was wondering how I can change it?
I'm a noob when it comes to computers so If anyone could help that would be great thanks!

Go to start > Control Panel > Then Network settings > THEN choose your router properties > Copy your I.P. Address and paste it in your browser

So basically you have to copy your I.P. Address and paste it in your browser
You have to know your Router User name and Password.

Then do some messing around to make it WEP. (Im only 10 so im not allowed to go to my router settings :p, so do some carp in your settings - you have to change WAP to WEP. The only bad thing is - WAP is safer than WEP internet.

Once your done, send me your friend codes (Via PM) Wink always willing to play DS!

Sheesh im clever at computers Speechless

Personally, I think it's way easier just to go onto ebay and buy a Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector. Once the program is uploaded to your computer, you plug the Wi-Fi Connector into a USB port on your computer.

It does the same as logging on through your router, only it takes less time and is more certain to work.

haha funny Artie, I love that thing.
Anyway I'm just gonna buy the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector.
Easiest way for a dumbass like me to be able to get on wi-fi.

Follow the steps, but change it to WEP instead of WPA.

Glad you got it working so you don't have to spend $20 on Nintendo's crappy adapter.


RE: How do I change My WPA key to a WEP key? - Blitz - Feb. 23, 2009

Yeh thanks for that, don't really have the money to spend on a nintendo adapter after losing my PS3 controllers & COD5. This gives me something to do tomoz on my day off as well ^^.

lol, amazing that a 10 year old knows this. i don't even know what WEP is


RE: How do I change My WPA key to a WEP key? - NAP - Feb. 26, 2009

I would have to suggest what Grey did. Buy a USB connector, I wouldn't risk switching from WEP to WPA.
