The Nintendo DS (even the pre-Lite version) has had Wifi capabilities. it only supports WEP encryption or no authentication. it's range is about 30 feet. But, can connect to play games on the Internet against other players. There are several games available. http://www.nintendo.com/wifi
We do not support the DS on our network as we only support WPA/WPA2 which the DS does not support. The only option is to purchase the nintendo wifi connector for the PC. The DS connects to this and it bridges the connection through the PC to the internet. --- Tim Winders Associate Dean of Information Technology South Plains College Levelland, TX 79336 Problem replying to my email?
