I'm trying to connect my DS to a network, but the only option available is WEP, which complicates things since I don't have an Android phone to create a hotspot. Is there any other way I could achieve this, like using a dongle or a Wi-Fi extender? I do have a Windows laptop, which might be helpful.

You might want to check your wireless router settings. Some routers can support WEP and the 2.4GHz 802.11b connection that your DS needs. If you can find that option in your router's settings, it could work for you!
If you're using a Windows laptop, you might be able to turn it into a mobile hotspot. There's a guide on Microsoft's website that could help you out: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/use-your-windows-device-as-a-mobile-hotspot-c89b0fad-72d5-41e8-f7ea-406ad9036b85. Just keep in mind that you will need to set a password to secure your connection, but it's doable!
But won't I need to enter a password for that?
