Netgear routers are kind of tricky. First of all, DSes can only do certain kinds of security. If you can, you should try to change it to a WEP password. I know the Netgear I used to have was set up only to let devices in which the MAC code of the device is within the router information. Perhaps if you can figure out how to do that, you may be in luck.

There is an local address for your router. It varies by model, but most likely you'll need a password to get in. This allows you to set pretty much everything including passwords and what not. DS'es only take open (unsecured) and WEP Key security. First, try opening a Wi-Fi compatible game, opening up the settings (in this case it would be on the main menu and you can't possibly miss it) pick any of the slots and tap "Search for Access Point." There would be a unlock icon if your router is open. In that case, you should be good to go.
Alternatively, I would ask the person that set it up if I were you. Netgear routers are really tricky as well. |

@Ditto616: I see what you mean. Do you know what website you go to change it to WEP? I looked for the site on Google, but whatever websites I went to, my browsers wouldn't open it.
@AshArmy: I don't know who set it up, it was a Comcast cable guy who came in to also fix my cable box. |

I used to have a Netgear router and I actually found it quite easy to access WiFi. After you access the Netgear maintaining website, you will be easily able to change the settings of the password to WEP. Once that is done, the DS should easily be able to access WiFi. |

Your default IP is 192.168.1.1 on almost every home network. If you have a DSi and you only want to play online with Pokémon Black or White, then having WPA doesn't matter, since those games support it when being used on a DSi (Earlier Pokémon games don't support WPA).
