My computer is upstairs, and my router is downstairs, my computer has the range to reach it, as does my Wii, but my DS doesn't.

So, I was wondering whether any of the following options existed:

1. A range booster for the DS
2. A plugin for my computer (perhaps a pci attachment) that lets me channel my DS's wifi through it|
3. A socket attachment that relays the wireless signal, thus (effectively) boosting my DS's range
4. Any other way of contacting my router with my DS, or boosting the range, etc.

Thanks, It's annoying not being able to talk on msn or gamespot while I'm using my DS.

i don't think there is a way, but if there is a way i think it is with the Nintendo wi-fi connector, since for what i undersantd is that you want to play near your computer

I'm pretty sure you need a Wi-Fi USB... aparently, I need one even though I have a DS Lite, wich should let me go Wi-Fi WITHOUT one...:evil:

A signal booster for wireless might work. Where my PC is, it'sjust out of range for the DS, yet every other room in my house is in range. The DS seems to be shorter ranged than the PSP in my experiance, I've used my friends and the DS can't match it's range.

Go into your router and change the channel to either 1 or 11. Right now it's probably on 6 by default which is right smack dab in the middle of all the congestion possible. 1 and 11 is free of all that congestion.

Do you have a DS orininal or a DS Lite? I have an old one, and I've not had a problem anywhere in the house.

There is a web browser for the ds at gamestop. it is 30 bucks, this is what he is talking about. although it is good for forums and email, you can't go to you tube because there is no flash player on it. it is also a little bit slow.
