Hi.. ever since I've gotten my wireless router I've been wanting to play Mario Kart online but whenever I try to connect to the WiFi clicking "Search for an access point" an error message comes up saying: "The access point's security settings are not supported by the Nintendo DS." If I turned off the security then I would get other people leaching off my internet. Please help me, thanks in advance.

Hey, I've got the best answer. Give me a cookie.

Your DS is rejecting the connection because you've probably made the router use WAP security. WAP is unsupported by the DS. The DS only works with WEP, or with an open access point.

You can have security while still allowing your DS to connect to your router by changing your security settings to WEP.

Ahh yes.. good idea, though I'd have to chance my password because 64 digits cant fit into the maximum DS allows.. this could be the problem I am receiving. Thanks.

I'm a noob when it comes to these things, I'll ask my friend to configure all of these problems/changes for me tomorrow. Thanks.
