Do you have a wireless router? you need a wireless connection that the wi-fi
can interact with, however if you have a wireless router you wont need the wi-fi thing anyway. try www.nintendowifi.com

i dunt have a router.

Look for the closesthotspots near, where u are located.

http://nintendowifi.com look for the find hotspot bit, and fill the form out.

if u find one, you should be able to connect.

Am I right in thinking some McDonalds have hotspots?

[GreenCrayons.]

So your telling me ve got a connector then if i get a router i wont need a connector anyways.
so why do they even exist

[J0SH]

Basically, you need a wireless router in order to play at home. Once you get a decent wireless router ( averaging around £80 ) you can then play at home on your DS.

yes, but you can connect a wi-fi connector into your usb port and play.
at home aswell.
but i click on connect to your nintendo wi-fi usb connector and it connects.
then what
