The Nintendo DS includes a built-in 802.11b WiFi card. As long as you have an access point that supports 802.11b, then you won't need anything else. You'll simply need to configure your DS with the proper WiFi settings to communicate with your access point.

You can follow the steps from Nintendo's support site.

The DS only supports WEP encryption, so if you are trying to connect to your home router or a router at a coffee shop, you won't be able to if it is set to WPA or WPA2.

In that case, you would need the dongle.

Check your home router's security settings. I assume you have a router with a wireless access point....
