Even if you could magically upgrade your DS Lite's WiFi card AND trick your games into thinking you were using a DSi most games don't support WPA anyways.

About the whole being worried some one is going to hack your wireless connection....

If you live in an apartment with 18 neighbors in range then yeah I would worry, if you live in the burbs with maybe 3 houses max in (crappy) range I wouldn't worry too much. Just check once in a while to see who has accessed your network and that will be never.

I use WEP and sure some one could crack it, my password is damned weak. In the years I have used WEP no one has ever even tried to hack it.

Now ask me how many times my connection has been port scanned from the Internet.... (nightly sometimes 8 times...) I recommend a full hardware firewall backed up with a good software firewall.

My Internet connection has like a billion people in range, my wireless network? Not so much.

On a more helpful note, to the OP. Maybe your wireless router supports something called a guest network.

If you can set that up with WEP you could just use that rather than re-configuring a bunch of devices. The bonus of that is on better routers they only give access to the Internet for that connection. So should some theoretical bad guy hack that connection the most he would gain is access to the internet and your PC and personal information would remain safe.

I have my router set up with a WPA main network, and a WEP guest network. The main and guest run on 2 different networks, so I could care less if the guest one gets hacked. I use it mostly for my DS fat.

If somebody starts downloading child porn or pirating recent movies and junk the companies are keeping an eye on, on your network, it'll show as coming from your house.

Can't you just buy that Nintendo Wi-Fi adapter thingy?
And if you have an Android/iOS phone or something, you can always WiFi Tether with MAC filtering.
