I brought my daughter a DS for her b'day and now she wants to play Mario Kart online with her friends.
Obviously my Broadband is WPA and stupid Nintendo want WEP.

If I buy a seperate Wireless adaptor and plug it into the laptop will it over ride the laptop wifi, if not can I just create a seperate network from the adaptor and put that as WEP for use with the DS???

Thanks guys :)

AFAIK, if you use the Nintendo WiFi Adapter you are creating a separate access point which you can configure as a WEP connection. This would be considered the DS to laptop connection. If you connect your laptop to your router using WPA, that is a different connection.

So all I need to do is plug a seperate adaptor in and set that to WEP for use with the DS.

No, there is a special device for what you want to do.

It is the Nintendo DS WiFi adapter. There are some third party adapters that will work.

So I have to pay Nintendo another £30 for THEIR own adaptor instead of paying £6 for any adaptor just because they messed up and used WEP????
Think i'll leave it then, I hate Nintendo even more now

As I said, there are third party adapters that work but it's hit or miss.

i have a word doc on how to set up the nintendo wifi usb adapter with zone alarm if anyone needs it and if you want the alternative http://www.focalprice.com/WiFi_Link_Wire...C029B_3452.html works fine but if you computer has a wireless connection it fails, if it has an ethernet connection it was fine tried on vista and XP

Was just passing thru and saw this thread. Just bought a Linksys router specifically for NDS use as my existing routers (see my signature) run on WPA or WPA2, and i won't have WEP on my main routers so the new router will be setup separately for NDS use over WEP.
