My router is rubbish and wont let me onto the wifi on my DS. I have tried to change my settings and it just plain doesnt want to work. Its a Netgear it works for everything elseincluding 360, PSP andWii but no luck with the DS.

Now that the Vista drivers were done for the Nintendo USB I was going to get one a while ago but ended up not getting one.

Basically the Nintendo USB has been discontinued and I am wondering if Nintendo still supports the USB? A local game store has a new one but I dont want to waste 30quid if it doesnt work and I cant get my money back.

the device will still work, even if Nintendo stopped making it. Go ahead and get it so that you can get on the internet man.

My router is great, but my brother put a WEP lock on it a while back (The DS isn't compatible with it). I bought a Wifi Connector from Nintendo (I think 2007), and it isn't so great.

I can never just turn my DS and start playing online. I always have to fiddle with it for it to work.

Edit: Lol. Forgot to say that it still does work. I used it like 2 weeks ago.

Ahh cheers people. I have heard lots of bad and some good things about it. I'll hopefully bite the bullet and pick one up.

What are you talking about? The DS is compatible with WEP keys. DS is not compatible with WPA. Unless WEP lock and WEP key are different things.... i`ve never heard of WEP lock for instance, so i guess...

Yeah, there are a lot of complains aboutNinty USB stick. One of them is the overheating problem, also slow connections and frenquently disconnections are reported.

It was discountinued due to a successful recent lawsuit by theAustralian technology research agencyCSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation). As a result, the company has been prevented from trading in any products adhering to the 802.11a/g standards in the US, including the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB connector.
