It will work but the official Nintendo one is better, so if you are going to buy one, get that one.

I agree I got it before and took it back within 2 days. I called the people who make it and they told me it was functioning properly....and having to reinstall everytime you want to use it is functioning properly....? They also treat you like garbage...I'd NEVER reccomend it. I thought I'd cut corners getting the WiFiMAX however I REALLY regret it! I went and bought the Nintendo brand one, and itworks EXTREMELY well.

I hated the Nintendo USB Connector...It's a horrible story if you already have a network setup with ICS.

Get the Nintendo USB wireless router, i have it and it's great. All you do put in the disc, install it. Plug into the USB slot, woolah. Wifi. :D

yes and no.

u plug in the nintendo wifi stick and install the drivers (there is a cd in the package)

Then u have a little blue taskbar icon, the wifi registration tool. start a wifi game, use theoption to connect to a wifi stick and register ur DS @ ur PC. thats all. pretty easy and it works very well, though it only connects to nintendo WFC which means u cannot use online HB software.

OKay, the best advantage of this wifi stick is that its totally secure, as u can only connect to WFC and only with a nintendo DS or Wii, so no one will be able to enter ur network or pc as in a WEP-"secured" network ;)
