How do I find a WEP connection please?

My 10 year old son is trying to connect his DS to our router so that he can play Pokemon White and get the mythical Pokemon Victini. (Whatever that is...)

We have followed the instructions to do this and have found our wireless access point, but have a red locked icon next to it. It says that we need to enter a WEP key.

However, I'm not sure how to find the WEP key. Can anyone help please?

Many thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give.

    What is the make and model no. of your wireless access point so I can tell you how to access its menus to find the WEP password?

    Oops! Just picked up the wireless router to check the make and model and saw the WEP printed on a sticker on the bottom!

    We've just put the code in and the DS has connected successfully. :)

    Sorry to have wasted your time, and thank you so much for offering to help. x
