For the DS, it has to be WEP security or no security, but the DSi (not games for it, just the Shop or Internet channel) supports WPA and WPA2.

But if you checkhttp://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/wii/en_na/onlineIncompatible.jsp, you can find ISP's that do not work well with the Wii.

I used to have a NETGEAR, and it works for all three of those.

I think the DSi still uses WEP only for games, but someone else should confirm that.

DSi uses WEP for the games, but for other stuff (shop, etc) it uses WPA/WPA2. There are some Rumors of dsi-enhanced/only games supporting WPA, but like i said, its only rumours. :roll:

Is the router your looking at cheap? Like less than 50$? I always thought about going down that route, but figured for that price it would be crap.
