Hi everyone. I just got Pokemon Black for the DS Lite and I'm trying to get online to get the Liberty Pass so I can capture Victini. My only problem is that my folks set up the wireless router to WPA encryption, and my dad's paranoid as heck and thinks that lowering the security settings to WEP will make it open season for hackers.
I heard someone say that it was possible to create a guest network for certain routers. My home router is a Linksys WRT54G with a G-type signal. I'm thinking I might just create a second guest network with lowered security settings for use with my DS. Does anyone know if this would work with this type of router?
Also, I've been looking into the Nintendo WiFi USB connector as a backup plan, but according to half of Nintendo's website, the device has been "discontinued until further notice." Does anyone here know why? If I were to buy a USB connector from a third party, would it still connect me to Nintendo WiFi?
Thanks, and have a great day.

PS: I managed to get into my router settings, but it doesn't look like it will work. I do have a question, however. Is there a way I can maybe buy a second router for my own personal use, and have that router secondary to the main router? From the looks of it, the router we have now is hosting our internet connection; however, based on the options I saw when screwing with the main router, it looks as though I can buy another router of the same model and have it connect indirectly to the Internet thorught the first router. Then I might be able to set the security settings to WEP for the second router and have my own little wifi spot.
