Can you go online with the DS if your router has security, can't remember what security I put on mine but connecting from pc or laptop you need a 100 odd character password, can't see how the ds would work with it

Im not great with my wireless security knowledge, but if your password is 100 long its WPA (?) and as far as i know DS only support WEP(13/26 chars long) , some homebrew doesnt support even that.
