Do you have wireless internet connection? if you do, you got wi fi. If not, go buy a wireless router or a Nintendo USB adapter

If you don't have wireless Internet, see if a neighbor does ;)

Hah, right ;D

Really though, if you want a solid connection you'll need to put out around $50 (average retail price) for a wireless G/N router, and you'll also need a high speed internet connection like cable or DSL. Once you get your router set up though, you'll just go through the wireless setup menu on the DS to configure your connection. Pretty straight forward.

It is illegal to steal wireless Internet bandwidth from your neighbors. I made sure my wireless network was cloaked so no one can stealing bandwidth from it.

First of all thats not entirley true. Anyone who broadcasts an unprotected wirless signal is broadcasting it at their own risk, and anyone who recieves and uses it is not actualy commiting a crime. If you broadcast an encrypted signal however things get hairy.

As an example, my house has no Wirless internet at all, but 3 of my neighbors do, luckily with 2 of them i am good friends, and they have given me there access keys and permission to use their networks whenever. The third neighbor, one i have no idea who it is, is broadcasting an unencrypted signal, and has named the wirless network after the street i live on. So, not only is it legal for me to use this signal, it would seem the name of the access point is telling me the owner is broadcasting it for just that reason, wirless access along our block.
