It doesn't show a WEP number anywhere
The WEP key is in your wireless settings..
WEP is one of the wireless security methods. The router is telling your DS that before it can access the net a password (the WEP key) has to be entered. Ask whoever set up the router's security what the key is or look under the wireless settings bit of your router's setup page
What make router is? (model number would be good too)

I think it is eircom but I'll look next time. Check back here chuck in the next few days if possible.
Note that the DS is only compatible with WEP security, not WPA (which is more secure). My guess is that your router is set to WPA and you need to change to WEP if you want to go online with the DS.
