I have had Animal Crossing Wild World for a very long while now and I really felt like to play with someone over wifi. I do have the internet, and I'm willing to play with some people, after I get this issue out the way. The issue is that I have tried to get a friend code but it can't find my internet. It then keeps saying that I have to register my WEP key. What if you don't have a WEP key? I don't understand what it is? Could someone please help??
 
Do you have wireless internet (probably so)? Your WEP key is a security measure so that no one else can use your wi-fi. Usually, either an administrator (the person who set up your wireless router) makes a password up or it comes with one. Whats the brand of wireless router you have?

Ask your network administrator. If you live with your parents, your father may know it. If you live in a boarding school or apartment than the landlords will have it.

If your network doesn't have a WEP key than leave it blank when It asks for it. Also, check with your network administrator to see if you have a WEP and not a WPA.

the Nintendo DS and it's games do not support the newer day encryption such as WPA

EDIT


Also what Kaiaa says has a lot to do with it. If you "cant find you internet" than there is a good chance you don't have wireless internet

EDIT 2:

Can you connect on other wireless devices like 3DS or Wii?

You should be able to get your question answered by a professional. I know there is a way to reset your router and set the WEP key up again (I've done it before!) but I don't remember!
 
If it doesn't have a WEP key, you can:
Use the Wi-Fi USB Connector from Nintendo. Good luck on finding that discontinued item :P
Use the AOSS button on some compatible routers
Just not use Wi-Fi

The games released after DSi are compatible with WPA and all that. The Wii is compatible with almost all!

I wish I didn't lose my R4; with Wild World on it :3
