MN-700 does it have Open or Shared Authenication

I need help. I also need my head examined.
I have an MN-700.
I have spent 10 hours of time trying to connect my kids Nintendo DS lites to
the wireless network. After an hour of holding for Nintendo Support, I was
told that I need to have WEP shared authentication not open authenication.
I have looked at every setting and absolutely nowhere in the documentation
or on line or in the manual can I find
A) what is this setting on the MN700 currently set to
B) how do I change it.

I have the WEP strong encryption set up.
I downloaded all the latest bios, firmware and application.

Still no luck. Help me please.

It uses shared authenication.

Make sure your wireless mode is set to b/g (mixed) mode. If it is on G-only
mode, you might have issues (if the DS lite is like the Wii).
