can you still use WEP key?

Hello people,

 

I was wondering if it is still possible to use a WEP key. I want to go online with my nintendo DSI for the fun, but you need to have a WEP key, otherwise it can't get on your WIFI-router. So I looked at the routerlogin, but wasn't able to find a WEP key or make one. 

So is it still possible or can't I go online anymore...?:'(

 

p.s.

They couldn't find my model. It's a WNDR3700v3 from Netgear.

Re: can you still use WEP key?

choose 54 as mode then it should be listed

 

then setup guest using WEP and main using WPA2 or WPA  The link rate will be 54 on both

Of course if router has a setting for that.. Better than no security at all, LOL!

And do you maybe know where I could find this setting? because right now I can only choose between:

- none

- WPA-PSK (TKIP)

- WPA2-PSK [AES]

- WPA-PSL [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]

 

Is there maybe a setting I need to turn on first, before I can use WEP?

And would it also be possible to have a WPA and WEP key password at the same time?

 

I could also take off the password, but yeah, I'd like to have some kind of protection! haha
