Okay, can you modify the game at all to make it WPA? Change the games code by hacking?Yeah, the DS is eight years old, and it was relatively cheap hardware when it came out too (the PSP, for example, is a little later, but multiple times as powerful).
The reason DS games can't use WPA or above even in newer systems (DSi, 3DS) is because the ARM7 binary of each game actually handles the Wifi instead of the system itself handling it... and those binaries only support WEP, so even though the hardware is there, the logic is not.
Theoretically it might be possible to have a sort of wrapper/proxy on the system (like on the 3DS), but they haven't bothered.
Better off just changing your router to WEP although very easy to hackOkay, can you modify the game at all to make it WPA? Change the games code by hacking?
The issue is even if you did manage to somehow re-write the ARM7 binary to do WPA as well as still taking care of sound creation and game saving, ROMs still run in DS-mode (meaning they're locked into WEP) outside of the iEvo, but the iEvo doesn't have WiFi ability in DSi-mode anyways...Okay, can you modify the game at all to make it WPA?

I just really wanted wi fi for dream world in Pokemon Black 2, but Thanks for all your information!

Just change your router's security or buy a DS connection dongle, that's the only way you will get older games online.
I'll look into it! Thanks for the suggestion!~I bought a USB Wi-fi connector in my country, about 5U$, it works both as Wi-Fi client, and a Access Point, since I only have a desktop, I share my cable connection with this usb device using a Ralink Software to create a Wep connection, works fine for me, even to play online games like Mario Kart, or to use Pokemon Dream World.
Well, My family has had WPA for a while, and I'm pretty sure my brother won't let me change it!My suggestion is
keep your old router, save your money
Forget WPE, WPA, WPA2 or any encrypted protection
Don't broadcast your AP, use MAC address filtering
Only you will be able to access your AP, and only you will be able to add something to use your AP.
Which will mean their data is flying around unencrypted and can be sniffed by local people.Forget WPE, WPA, WPA2 or any encrypted protection
MAC addresses are in the frame headers, which means it's easy for somebody to sniff an in-use MAC (especially without any encryption), then make their machine use that MAC instead of it's own (MAC addres spoofing).Don't broadcast your AP, use MAC address filtering
Only you will be able to access your AP, and only you will be able to add something to use your AP.
Well if set up so that it works, it would stop people that hack into the WEP network from getting at your other machines, but they'd still be able to leech internet access.I still have my old Linksys WRT-54G, although, the built-in wireless and ethernet on my ISP's new modem is much faster, so I use that now instead. For security, I will stay with WPA2. However, I got an idea. Would it be viable for me to plug my WRT-54G into one of the new modem's ethernet ports and have it broadcast in WEP with MAC address filtering? If so, how secure would it be?
That was my main concern, actually, (not the hacking, since I don't think I have much to fear from occupants in the few neighboring houses). Will it work?Well if set up so that it works, it would stop people that hack into the WEP network from getting at your other machines, but they'd still be able to leech internet access.
ofcourse it will
just set your IP router just in case it has same address like your new router
and fill those basic setting with the same number on 1st router.
if you using dhcp, set your range number higher or lower.
or again... just use MAC adress filter.
