    1st screenshot it looks like you have wpa-psk security. click on that dropdown list and see if you can see wep in it

    i didnt expect this to be so difficult and take this long time

    WPA RADIUS
    WPA Pre-shared key

    Options

    thats ok

    so is mine and it probably is something very very easy

    any way try the both option

    EDIT have you made sure you have put (8e33fb2bf1 for example) 8e33fb2bf1 not 8E33fB2bf1 as it is case sensitive

    Nope, none of the settings worked.

    Now when I try searching for an access point it not picking anything up

    The NDS says " The access point's security aettings are not supported by the NDS"

    yes checked and double checked to make sure I type it like for like
