Where to Find WEP Key on Vista
I've been trying to find my wireless internet router's WEP key in order to connect my DS to the internet. Does anyone know how to do so on Vista?

Maybe you can get to it through the router's website. Try 192.168.0.1 and see if you can get it through that. I'm not sure if it would be your exact router but that's always how I got through to it.

When you had set up your router, you set the password for it. If it was WEP you should have recorded it somewhere. Maybe check with your router documentation? Whoever set it up might have written it down there.

Go to the Network Sharing Centre in Control Panel, click "Manage wireless networks" on the side, double-click the wireless network, go to the Security tab, and tick the "Show characters" check box.
Oops, that's on Win 7... Vista should be fairly similar.

Right now Windows 7 is the only Windows that lets you "show characters" on your old wireless key. Vista and the others intentionally make this pretty hard.
Your best bet is accessing the router settings like the other folks said, but if you got your router from your internet company it's probably got a sticker on it with your key. If accessing or resetting the router is absolutely not an option, I've seen a tool floating around that can grab the key from your computer called wirelesskeyview. I tried it on my own Vista computer and it worked fine.
