Wifi security question, what is WEP? - Richie - 04-24-2014 07:40 AM

So I want to change my wifi so that I can use it with my pokemon games, it says on the Nintendo customer service site that I have to change my wifi WEP key to WEP-shared instead of what it is, it says that I will need to religion in with the new information, what will changing the WEP do to the wifi? Will I need a new password of something, please tell me, thanks!

you can always make a friends or a second account so you can play your games & then discount from the internet & your wifi when you finished. depending on your age you might have your parents or old sibling do this so that you keep your home internet cont. safe.
Good Luck!
