    This question really doesn't belong on the tech. support forum here, but I'll answer your question.

    You need to check your router's IP address -- on your computer, click Run > cmd, and on the Command Prompt that opens, type "ipconfig". There should be an IP address like 192.168.1.97 for instance -- mine is 192.168.15.244 -- whatever the third number is (15 for me), you need to open Internet Explorer and go to the gateway IP, which is the first three numbers followed by .1 -- 192.168.15.1 for me -- and log in to your router. By default, your username and password is "admin" and "admin" for both -- google your router model to find out what the default is if it doesn't work -- but you may have changed it, so log in either way.

    There should be a wireless tab/link somewhere on that router's page, and on that page somewhere should be where your WEP key is. Personally, I suggest -- if you know how to work with routing/networking -- you switch to WPA, which is actually more secure but can use a more simple password, such as "roflcopter" which is much easier to remember. But that's up to you.

    I hope this helps you out. :3

    i tried that, couldnt log into the damned thing
    ill google the router model

    WPA doesnt work on ds, so that completely defeats my purpose

    Oh, alright, I didn't know about that. Definitely stick to WEP then... The DSi as well as PSP both support WPA, but I guess Nintendo didn't think it would be a necessity to include the most stable encryption format at the time of the original DS' release.

    Hopefully you figure it out. This site lists several models, if you need a reliable source.
