[edit] RALink Drivers

In order to work, the RALink drivers require a slight modification to the INF file used to install them. Since Buffalo drivers also work and the device is made by Buffalo, I've also mentioned them. --GregE 04:39, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Does this device provide wi-fi for all wi-fi operating devices, or just the DS? can I use it for a Laptop, or PSP, for example?--Supermariorobot 17:48, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

The device seems based on the USB Keychain Adapter by Buffalo, which is compatible with other Wi-Fi devices. Also, based on an interview with an executive at Buffalo, it would seem that the technology does support other Wi-Fi devices. But it also seems that the functionality is not activated, based on CNET's review. Considering that there have been attempts to bring support for other operating systems, perhaps there is also work done at making it a general Wi-Fi access point. Dancter 18:41, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

The Nintendo Wi-Fi USB connector only works with the DS.

[edit] Special Thanks

Special thanks to Alex for starting this article and cheers for the people improving it.

[edit] Wii

Does anyone know if this will be compatible with Wii, i.e. allow it to use the net if it can't detect your router like the DS?

   yes I read somewhere on a game site that you can use the internet for the wii if you have this.

   yes, it is. 100% sure

[edit] Range

Does anyone know what the range for the connector is? like what's the farthest my Wii/DS can be from the pc and connector in order for it to still work? Oskar 16:55, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
