plain and simple... i have a wireless router (Lynksis) that i use to play online with my psp. will the router work for ds also? or do i HAVE to buy that nintendo usb connector? thanks.
You can use wireless routers, but not all are supported, check nintendos compatability list to see if yours will work. http://www.nintendowifi.co.uk/customersupport/supportedRouters.do Also I believe that the DS does not support WPA encryption, only WEP. So you may need to change that if your currently using WPA.
theres quite a few router links on that site...im not really sure how to check though lol (im bad, i know lol) anyway i have a Lynksks..model: BEFW11S4 just want to know...right now its up and running and is working well with my PSP...do i have to change anything for it to work with the DS?
Since you dont sound to knowledgable about your encryption settings, chances are they arent auto-encrypted. I have a Linksys Wireless-G and connecting it to my DS was easy as pie. Search for AOSS (?) Connection Found! Then suddenly it said Linksys_19832_29483 on my 1st connection settings. It works like a dream.
does that mean mine wont be as easy as pie? its an 802.11b router and it says instant wireless on it. ^^is yours more or less the same?
