    Thing is, I want want wifi access so I can battle and trade with people besides my brother, maybe start a breeding shop thing, ect. But I don't have broadband or a wifi spot anywhere near my house. O.o

    I've heard about the wifi USB connectors that nintendo has out, but I don't know much about them. Do they work with dial-up? Are they reliable? Can I get one that works with Vista?

    Thanks!


    (PS: Sorry if there's already a thread like this, but I didn't see one)
     
    THe nintendo WiFi Adapter is able to work with Dial up, as long as your connected at the time of use, Also be aware that currently it only works with Windows XP. I used one for a little bit before I got DSL and It was pretty reliable. I also think you can have both your's and your brother's DS's connected to it at the same time.
     
    I thought Nintendo already released the drivers for Windows Vista...

    Anyway, Shauna, I just thought you'd like to know that you're going to have a very hard time finding one presumably, seeing as Nintendo stopped selling them since November last year. You may still see a few available, but you're going to need a bit of luck.

    If all fails, you're probably going to have to get broadband and a router. =/
