Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector
Nintendo Wi-Fi USB connector is a device that enables you to use the internet on your nintendo DS if you dont have a wireless router. It is no bigger than a average USB drive. Using the Wi-Fi connector is free without any charges at all. You must have a PC for it to work, and the PC must be turned on. It will also not work with other wireless devices. Up to 5 Nintendo DS systems can work on the USB at once.

Not a bad addition, Hayden. Not bad at all. Could have been a bit more informative (ie. discussion of common issues, connection speeds, etc...) but it is still pretty nice.

Is there any differences between the usb connector with the black input to the standard input? I purchased my standard shaded input usb connector direct from nintendo a while ago (piece of **** but that is my only way of connecting to the net with ds and wii).

I have one and it works perfectly. My Wii is probably a good 5 meters away from my pc and its runs so well. The software you get with it, allows you to add devices, so no one can access the net unless you approve them in the software its great. I think there is a new one that gives faster speeds i'm not 100%

You can take it out. Get a router though, or at least a good one. These things are ass. You're connected in Wi Fi for a bit "You have been disconnected" F*** you! Yeah. Based on personal experience.

Sorry guys, I'm a little confused by the discription.. I would have thought this could be used in place of a wireless router. You plug into your PC and that allows the wii (or DS) to use whatever internet connection your PC is using. But based on the discription and some of the comments that's not the case?

You can't. It's built only for use in your PC or laptop to connect with the Wii or DS ONLY. You need a PCMCIA WiFi Card or WiFi USB dongle to connect to a regular wireless network.
