    Only one or two are compatible with the DS, and you need to flash it with a modified firmware. I think my brother in law said he had the one that works, I will have a word and see what he say's.

    When Nintendo starts releasing games that use standard Wifi and not their proprietary standard, any router should work. I have a Belkin wireless router similar to that one, and I'm not worried.

    Sorry for the delay, my mother in law has had some bad news, so I have been unable to get hold of my brother in law.

    Yes, exactly. Any ".b" compatible router, I believe, will work.

    Yeah, you're right, einbebop.
     
  8. I thought the DS just used some sort of standard wireless signal - I've seen a few sites online where people were able to detect the signal from their PC. Getting anything usable from the data - that's a whole other ballpark.

    This is the one you can flash to be compatible with the DS:

    Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Broadband Router/4-Port Switch (NW-000-LS)

    Apparently it's what the unberground groups are using to make the uploaders and dumpers.

    Nut's, didn't notice that bit...

    Oh well, if you got the cash to burn, you can still use it as a hub for the DS, stuck onto a network card in your PC. Im sure you can wangle it so it works ,once the first unnoficial online stuff comes out.

    I have ADSL as well, and it works just fine with the Linksys router Tachi pointed out above.

    Does it have the smaller ADSL telephone port in the back and then a larger Ethernet port as well? as I also want to link the X-Box/PS2 as well.....to kick LeGit`s behind on HALO2 :smt043

    The web site isn`t that clear and can`t find any good pics :smt009
