I'm wondering whether your DS is managing to connect to your own router. If you live in a flat/apartment or in a street where houses are close together, you can sit in your front room and "see" possibly as many as 50 different neighbours' Wifi connections. (My friend If, who lives in Toronto, has this problem.) The fact that you've entered the WEP key correctly yet it still says the network key is incorrect suggests to me that perhaps your DS is trying to connect to your neighbours' connection instead of your own?

Check very carefully that the name of the network matches the name (SSID) of your house network. And if your own network is called the default name like [tt]netgear[/tt], perhaps change this to ensure that you can recognise your own network. I'd suggest not calling it by your real surname or address, though.

[QUOTE="baratron, post: 108726, member: 262"] I'm wondering whether your DS is managing to connect to your own router. If you live in a flat/apartment or in a street where houses are close together, you can sit in your front room and "see" possibly as many as 50 different neighbours' Wifi connections. (My friend If, who lives in Toronto, has this problem.) The fact that you've entered the WEP key correctly yet it [b]still[/b] says the network key is incorrect suggests to me that perhaps your DS is trying to connect to your neighbours' connection instead of your own? Check very carefully that the name of the network matches the name (SSID) of your house network.

I'd suggest [b]not[/b] calling it by your real surname or address, though. [/QUOTE]
