Hiya, I want to create a wifi hotspot with WEP security, but the network manager won't let me. I create a new Wifi connection, mode as "hotspot", IPv4 method as "Shared to other computers". The option for WEP in WiFi-Security is greyed out and unselectable.
If it's relevant, the reason I want to use WEP is older Nintendo DSs don't support WPA, and in order to access online services I need a WEP connection.
I'm not quite sure what to do. This is my first forum post so I apologise if I got anything wrong, and let me know if I need to provide more information.
Thanks
