Wifi Help!

Someone told me that i could get any USB WI-Fi Dongle, attatch it to my computer and if my computer has a high speed connection(which it has), it will send signals which will be detected by my DS and i'm Wi-Fi!
~~~
Is this true?

It should work, but there could be some compatibility issues with a few. As long as it's 802.11b or better and isn't locked on encryption it should work.

Also, if you use the dongle most of the time the firewall might interfere so it might be a good idea to turn off the firewall when using the dongle.

Can't Decide

I suggest you get, if you don't already have a router, a router and use that because it's around the same price as the dongle so you'd be able to use the router for more than one use. Too bad my router broke so I just switched to a modem and dongle.

Routers have much more capability than the dongle at about the same price, but setting it up properly requires some network know-how.
