Ive the netopia 3347W router and this is not compatable with nintendo wifi.
i had to buy the nintendo wifi connector.:D But the netopia 3347NWG is compatable even though it freezes after 10 minutes playing.im pretty sure u cant fix that problem.

I didn't have a WEP key with my modem (Buffalo something or other) and I got my DS to work by turning off all wireless security on the router and then connecting with my DS. My router wasn't one on the compatible list.

The netopia NWG is compatable.Your nearly connected.:D Just go to this link-http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054854398There is a load of people discussing the same thing here.But remember that with the netopia NWG nintendo wifi always freezes after about 10 minutes of playing.Nothing you can do about it unless they bring out a firmware update which enables you to adjust the speed of your router.(which i doubt they will):cool::cool: :cool:
