Or you can just turn off all encryption and enable MAC filtering, only allowing the MAC addresses of the devices you have. You need to add an address for each device, of course, but it'd be safe.

The best thing to do in your case is to buy a cheap (used) router on eBay or similar sites.

Set it up with WEP and use whatever security is available.... MAC address filtering, SSID hiding, etc.

Connect it to your main router and turn it on when you want to play and turn it off when you're done.

That's how I'm doing it.

Good luck.

You can simply sniff the unencrypted traffic for the MAC addresses used and spoof one.
"Simply" eh? I think if someone's taking that much time to steal your wifi they could probably be tracked, and probably be reported to the police

There's no way to track them.

Doing this will cost you US$20+

QUOTE(Porobu @ Apr 26 2010, 11:03 AM) buy a Nintendo wifi conector
Only DS and wii can connect to it

Doing this will cost you US$~100+
Nintendo WiFi connectors went out of production a while back.

He didn't mention a constraint on the price.

Another solution for him: The Dutch railway has now Wifi in some trains. He could buy a train ticket and go play there. There are more public places with Wifi. Or get netstumber, go wardrive and if you find an unsecured Wifi and go play there.

If you like to stay at home you can, by using a WEP to WPA2-PSK gateway. This can be done in a secure way using the following:

- Get a PC with 2 WLAN cards
- Setup card 1 as WEP access point
- Setup card 2 as WPA2-PSK client
- Install router software to gateway between the two cards (Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) for example)
- Allow card 2 to connect to your home network
- Set up a Faraday cage
- Put the WEP antenna inside the Faraday cage
- Important: leave the WPA2-PSK antenna outside the Faraday cage
- Also important: properly shield the cables and the cable inlets into the Faraday cage
- While inside the Faraday cage you can play on line!

Nobody can hack into your WEP this way since the Faraday cage will shield all RF from outside, so the WEP access point is secure now!

There is still a small security leak. If you open the door to the Faraday cage someone could hack into your network. Therefore I suggest to install a door-switch to prevent that, as long as the door is open have a relay decouple your WEP antenna. If you do not like relays then you can also design a Faraday cage with 2 doors so no RF leak will occur when you enter or leave the cage.

I think this solution is even simpler than the one I presented before, doesn't break your DS warranty and doesn't need any illegal activities. And still no other DS card needed. Good Luck!

the OP said something like he refuses to buy an adapter, so I thought that might be useful info in case he changes his mind.

I agree. Good info BANG! Only, if he decides to finally change his mind and swap his adapter he will be in for an unpleasant surprise. Not even changing the adapter will change his WEP capable DS into a WPA2-PSK capable DS, no card will and can do that. The only way is not only swap the adapter, but also swap the DS for a DSi.

We have provided the OP with more solutions then he could have hoped for. But I haven't seen him after the first view postings. He doesn't seem to be very committed to get this topic solved or he finally got the message...

Hehe, even with a DSi I think that original DS games only work on WEP. Only DSi specific/enhanced games and servies work with WPA.
