wep and wpa both are encryption standards to make a more secure wifi network, so your xbox needs to have the same wep/wpa code that your router is set to. if you have to choose between wep or wpa, choose wpa if possible because it is virtualy uncrackable and it will save your bacon
WEP key
you would obviously plug it in and then press a on serch for wierless network system but then you have to type in your wep key (wich is your password) or if you've got a wpa a or whatever its stll the same thing. hay if you get it working add me to your friends list gamertag is ALIEN XJ.=)
no i had to change mine back to a wep
eg wrong password or you are not close enough to your internet access point and check WEP instead of WPA
Unfortunately no, the wi-fi chip inside the Nintendo DS does support pinging WPA networks with the right software but DS games are built to only connect to WEP wi-fi connections. So sorry, but if you wanted to play on a WPA network, its not possible.
It means that your router only supports higher security encryption: WPA-2, your DSI uses WEP Encryption. So you go to Advanced Settings in Set Up Internet Connection and it will show WPA for your wifi connection.
You can't unless you have some downloadable website link that enables you to hack and or generate random WPA or WEP passwords. Or you can get interenet ....
The internet password for your wifi
WEP has been replaced by WPA.
WPA and WEP are not compatible with each other. They are completely different kinds of encryption.

You're referring to a WEP/WPA/WPA2 key. These aren't on your Xbox, they are actually Passwords for your router/wireless internet. You can get these from your network settings on your computer if using Windows 7, on the router itself, or if you have a Gateway, check the gateway or contact your Internet Service Provider.
The three main methods of encryption for 802.11 wireless networks are the following: # WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) # WPA (WiFi Protected Access) # WPA2 (WiFi Protected Acess)
WPA or WEP
WEP allows you to encrypt your wireless connection protection it from people you can use your private information against you. WEP cannot be trusted because of weakness in its encryption algorithm. It's better to use WPA, or if you can WPA-PSK2 AES.
Yes you can set up a WEP on any router, but WEP is not very secure.WPA and WPA 2 would be a better way to go.
WEP is a part of 802.11. WEP is not secure because its wickness in the encryption mechanism. Which is used by many wireless network scanners. It takes about 5 minutes to hack WEP. It's highly recommended to use WPA or WPA2-PSK AES over WEP.
