Configure Wi-Fi on the Nintendo DS
The Nintendo DS hand-held gaming console is equipped with Wi-Fi capabilities that allow you to play online games, share game items with friends and even surf the Internet. The DS can only be used with wireless routers and can be configured for use in your home or at wireless hotspots. The setup process for the earlier DS and DS Lite models is slightly different from that of the later DSi and DSi XL game consoles.
