Can I get a DS lite onto wifi if my home router has incompatible security?|home router

Linksys WRT54G-TM T-Mobile Hotspot Home Wireless Router

• LAN Ports – 4 10/100 Mbps RJ-45
• WAN Ports – 1 10/100 Mbps RJ-45
• Transition calls from T-Mobile wireless network to Wi-Fi when use with T-Mobile hotspot phone
• Simplifies wireless connection to T-Mobile Hotspot phone

The Linksys Wireless-G broadband router is really three devices in one box. First, it’s a wireless access point, which lets you connect Wireless-G or Wireless-B devices to the network. There’s also a built-in four-port full-duplex 10/100 switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices. Connect four PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. Finally, the router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable

Ok i’ve been trying to get my DS lite connected to wifi so I can hook up with a wii for a long time, and I was wondering if there was something I could buy to get if to connect more easily. My home router security is not compatible with the DS. Will a DS USB connector fix the problem?

Answer by Adam C
You can do three things.

1. Change you routers security to something the ds supports like “WEP” security. If you live in a dense neighbor hood than I would not recommend doing this as if someone really wanted to they could hack your router but if you live anywhere thats not densely packed with neighbors or you trust your neighbors than this would be a free easy way to hook up your ds. This would be my most recommended thing to do. Honestly the chances of getting your router hacked even in a dense neighbor hood is very small but it still could happen but I wouldn’t worry about it.

2. You can buy a Nintendo wifi USB connector. You can buy them online for cheap but I have owned one and to put it simply it was a terrible. You can’t leave it plugged in for long or it will overheat. It doesn’t always connect. The connection is slow. Setting it up is a hassle. You get the picture. Nintendo discontinued the USB connector for these reasons. I wouldn’t even want to touch one of those things again. Its up to you though.

3. You can buy a DSi. A DSi supports way more security settings than the lite. I can garanty a DSi will work with your router without changing security. However the DSi’s security features are only available in newer titles and DSi features. Like the browser, the store, etc. So older ds games on the DSI won’t work on with the security settings the DSi offers. If you want to play older games you’ll have to change your router’s security to make it capable with the lite.

Overall your best bet is to just change your routers security settings to WEP. Its free and easy and once your done your lite will be able to connect 100%. Hope this helped.

Home/Office Server

This is our home and home office server, set up in our hall closest. It’s made up of Intel Mac MIni (Core Duo), stacked with two 500GB external drives (one Firewire, one USB 2) and a pair of 250GB FW drives on the left, setup as a mirrored RAID. The 250GB RAID handles all of my work-related files, while the 500GB FW is our iTunes/Apple TV media drive. The other 500GB (USB 2) is used for periodic backups of the media drive, which I run 2-3 times per week.

The stack on the far right is a Motorola Cable Modem, a D-Link Wireless G Gaming Router with Gigabit Ethernet, and the bottom is a D-Link Gigabit Switch.

This closest came with a home networking panel built in, with CAT-5 wiring running from the closest into each room of our condo (approx two jacks per room).
