DS USB Wi-Fi Connector?

Question

If I get one of these, I can connect to an AOSS, Hotspot, or whatever it is, without using my own router? (I don't have WEP). I want to get online with my Nintendo DS.

Answer 1

The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connector is no longer being produced by Nintendo, but it can still be found in stores such as Best Buy and Wal-Mart.

The price ranges from $9.99 to $39.99 depending on the store.

The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connector is only recommended if you do not wish to buy a full priced wireless router.



I honestly do not recommend for you to buy it, as it has both limited wireless range, and it may disconnect you from the internet every 15 minutes.*

I instead recommend you to buy a wireless router, which usually have more features and a longer wireless range. A wireless router is also compatible with other wireless devices such as the PS3 or a laptop. (Whereas the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connector is only compatible with the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii)





Edit:

The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connector is basically a mini router for your computer, or in other words; for your personal use.

It does not enable your DS to connect to restricted access points, such as a Hotspot at McDonald's or Star Bucks.

If you get one, you will need to plug it into an available USB connector on your Windows XP computer. (Note: Other versions of Windows, Mac and Linux are not supported with this device)

The Nintendo Wi-Fi connector is only an alternate source to send wireless internet to your Nintendo DS or Nintendo Wii. If you already have a router, there is no need to buy a Nintendo Wi-Fi Connector. Also note that the Nintendo Wi-Fi connector is *only* compatible with the Nintendo consoles. Laptops, PS3's or other gaming consoles will *not* connect to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connector.

Answer 2

Yes, you just need to plug it into a computer with internet access and install the included software. Beware, however: I have tried one of these before, and the range is pretty awful. Don't expect to be able to use it outside of the room the computer is in.

Answer 3

you in basic terms plug it in on your computing gadget and your DS will locate the relationship and that's all you desire! no longer the rest :) this is going to paintings with each and every DS pastime that has the Wifi image on the case the pastime got here in. sure, Pokemon Diamond will paintings!
