--Nintendo WiFi Connection FAQ & Info-- *GAMES, help, routers, more!*

I know this sounds very stupid, but I have a connection through an ethernet cord and not usb... does that matter for the wireless router? Also, I see lots of routers in ads and stuff, and does it really matter what router you get? Can I just go and buy one... or do I have to buy a specific one according to my ISP or something? I read the first page, and I don't know what ADSL is, so not sure if I have that. I am kind of confused on the whole router thing.:(

imma bit out of it right now, but are there veen any online games yet?Rodg7790

I have a wired router. I do not wanna go wireless because it will be a pain installing it, very expensive especially if i have more than 1 computer and i will have to buy Network cards for each computer. Do you know if there is an adpater for wired routers to get online with the DS? if there is no choice i guess i'll have to go wireless....:(Freakish_beast

i dont know if this is the right place to ask but does anyone know if the ds is capiable of a firmware update like the psp?i love being able to browse on the psp but ds with internet would be cool, to use the touch screen as a mouse or something like thatMastachief2552

But maybe there'll be wireless DS booths the the future where we'll be able to download game demos.. patches etc.

Wow, so the ds online is free...and you don't have to hook up the router or anything to your phoneline or computer?-WhiteSnake-

To answer your question, DS online will be free of charge, HOWEVER it's only for Nintendo made games, and Developers who choose NOT to charge. This means that 3rd party developers like Capcom, Konami, etc can charge for online game use on the DS, if they have you using THEIR servers. It's kind of like the PS2's online service. However Nintendo has made hints, that this one will be a lot better.

Also, I digress, back to your other question, you DO need a wireless router. In order for the DS to go online it needs to hook up to a hotspot, which can be found in homes, coffee shops, airports, and other places. This is what will enable your DS to go online, but you don't connect it with wires or anything. This is WIRELESS. So as long as you are in range, you will be just fine.

I have one last question, I remember my friend mentioning that you could download other games onto your ds from someone elses...? is this true?-WhiteSnake-

Well it's a good thing still, because you can play multiplayer on DS games, with one game pak, and it offers more options, than the GBA did. It depends on the game,however Meteos, Bomberman DS and Advance Wars DS, are some of the best multiplayer games so far. IMO.
