        You do need a wep. (NCFC) - Garry Brooke, Jun 19, 16:06:49
        
        It's silly - all these different types of security (NCFC) - duke of york, Jun 19, 16:11:58
        
        So far as wireless is concerned there are only two (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jun 19, 16:16:04
        
        there is WPA2 n'all (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jun 19, 16:18:57
        
        I think the protocol is essentially the same, but with a different encryption algorithm (n/m) (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jun 19, 16:22:45
        
        This time it's personal (n/m) (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Jun 19, 16:20:29
        
        So why haven't Nintendo changed it so you can use WPA? (NCFC) - duke of york, Jun 19, 16:17:57
        
        Possibly hardware issues. My (old and shit) laptop's wifi hardware won't do WPA (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Jun 19, 16:32:00
        
        Dunno - maybe it's simply not possible (n/m) (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jun 19, 16:25:17
      - Dunno about the original (NCFC) - duke of york, Jun 19, 15:48:11
- Totlaly start, control panel, wireless network set up (n/m) (NCFC) - Totally, Jun 19, 14:50:23
  - or start programs and the software that came with it (belkin, ralink, edimax etc) (n/m) (NCFC) - Totally, Jun 19, 14:56:05
    - well done (NCFC) - Firstnews, Jun 19, 15:02:05
      - Use WEP instead of WPA though! (n/m) (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jun 19, 15:05:20
        
        Er, I mean use WPA instead of WEP! (n/m) (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jun 19, 15:05:34
