RE: trying to connect nintendo ds with wireless router. message coming up is the access points security

The DS only supports WEP encryption not WPA
You need to find the instruction manual for your router and change the settings
Two points
1) any changes you make will also have to be done on all other wireless devices attached to the router
2) downgrading to WEP reduces the security of your network and makes it possible for outsiders break into, though they would have to be technically savvy and determined to do it
