DS Internet access

[wigsey]

I have a DS a wireless router and an R4 card.

is there any way I can access the internet using my DS.

I have searched all over and cannot find an answer on this . Can anyone tell me.

1) Is it possible

2) How do I do it

3) Do I need any extra bits software/hardware ?

Many thanks in advance

You can buy the nintendo web browser, just make sure you get the right version DS or DS lite.

I had it once but to be honest found it very slow and frustrating to use.

Keep in mind that if you have WPA on your wireless router you'll need to downgrade to WEP for the DS to work via wireless.

Have a look here for some discussion / ranting on the the matter

i have a Wannadoo livebox wireless router. Can anybody help me with the settings I need,I cant find them on the nintendo site.
I'm pretty useless at this sort of thing so an idiots guide would be good.

I setup wireless on my DS last night and all I needed was my WEP key, had it up and running within minutes so just make sure you have your details to hand and you should be fine (assuming your Router has a WEP key and not a WPA key)

yes it does have a WEP key number on the back of the box.I take it i just manually input this no & follow the instructions on the screen

right then,just have to find mySSID no,whatever that is/where it is.

Found the SSID & entered that & WEP key,tested the connection & my DS said it couldnt find any devices in range even though it was sitting on the router.
I'll wait till my other half gets home as she's the computer expert.

On the Orange / Wanadoo live box there is a pairing button on the back.. .. .. you need to press this before you search for the router.. .. (apparently)

I've tried that,it still didnt find it.GF may have set the firewall or something so I will leave it to her.
