Nintendo Gaming DiscussionIf you have something on your mind regarding the Wii, GBA, DS or GameCube Nintendo products or any of the great games available for them including Mario Kart, Guitar Hero 3 or Zelda, then you should use this section to chat about them.
does anyone know how to set up the wi-fi settings for the DS because i have tried connecting to my wireless internet at home but it doesnt seem to work. does anyone know why?
or do i have to get something to install to my computer??
thanks
it should be pretty straight forward really, u go into wfc settings in whatever game u want to connext to wifi with and just look for an access point, your router should show up in the list and just connect to it. if theres a locked padlock symbol next to it then your router is password protected by default or someone has set it though

Giving gamers two windows to the Web: The Opera Browser for Nintendo DS™
Oslo, Norway - February 15, 2006: Opera Software today announced that it will deliver the World Wide Web to Nintendo DS users in Japan.
In Opera's agreement with Nintendo, Nintendo DS users will now be able to surf the full Internet from their systems using the Opera browser. The Opera browser for Nintendo DS will be sold as a DS card. Users simply insert the card into the Wi- Fi enabled Nintendo DS, connect to a network, and begin browsing on two screens.
Earlier this year, Nintendo reported that 13 million Nintendo DS systems were sold to consumers around the world within just 13 months of its debut in November 2004. Nintendo DS combines unique dual screens, touch screen, voice recognition and wireless and Wi-Fi communications capabilities. According to an independent market research company in Japan, Nintendo DS has become the fastest selling video games machine to top the six million sales mark in Japan in just over 14 months since its Japanese debut, breaking the old record held by Nintendo's Game Boy Advance.
"The incredibly popular Nintendo DS is already Wi-Fi enabled to support real time gaming, so adding Web browsing capabilities was a natural evolution for this device," says Scott Hedrick, Executive Vice President, Opera Software. "Gaming devices are growing more advanced and a great Web experience is becoming a product differentiator for gaming manufacturers. Opera is excited to work with Nintendo to deliver a unique dual screen, full Internet experience on Nintendo DS."
With an on-screen keypad and stylus, users can easily navigate the Web from their Nintendo DS with PDA-like functionality. Based on the same core as the Opera desktop browser, Opera delivers superior speed and rendering of Web pages on the Nintendo DS.
"Within just five seconds of turning on the system, the Nintendo DS is already fully operational. This makes it the ideal device to enable people to swiftly obtain the latest information from the internet, wherever they are," says Masaru Shimomura, Deputy General Manager of Nintendo's R & D Department. "Opera exceeded our expectations with its user friendly interface, quick access to all your favorite sites, ease of use and, most importantly, in making the best use of the Nintendo DS system's unique double screens and touch screen features. Opera is an important partner for Nintendo in our efforts to further expand the users of the Nintendo DS."
Im not sure about the DS, but some consoles only work on wireless on a certain channel, though i do think the DS works with anything.
A friend of mine brought his DS over and it found and connected to my wireless network without a problem, on a random channel and on a secured network, so i figure they should at least find the network pretty easily if its enabled.
Do you have any other computers/devices connected to your network/internet via wireless on the wireless router? If not you may want to check that the wireless part is actually turned on and set up.
