I've wanted to go online with my DS for a while, the things that puts me off is that a wireless router is probably going to cost me more than the DS did

Does anyone know of cheap routers that work well, at least for the Nintendo DS? I've almost been tempted at Nintendo's USB stick for $35, but since it requires Windows XP, I'm not going to do that.

I tend to like the Linksys ones myself, but I dunno... have a look and see what might be best price / features for you.

I hear the DS doesn't support WPA, so get one with WEP?

Linksys seems to be in an acceptable price range... I'm not too sure weather I want to deal with OpenBSD compatibility right now, though I think it'd be better to get one that is supported even if I'm currently only going to use regular ethernet like I have been.

And yeah, Nintendo DS only supports the WEP encryption. I'll probably use WEP even if it's not much better than an unencrypted connection.

That's why I posted a big list to begin with, as you'd know what might work best with your choice of OS than I would. I know that my Macintosh is very happy with the Linksys, and it's based on BSD, but that prolly really doesn't mean a whole lot.

Does it say on Linksys's site anything about it??

A lot of the direct-to-consumer OEMs don't even know about stuff like that.... you really have to some research to find out what chips they use and that sort of thing. Sometimes you'll find a range of products that are completely supported, while another product range from the same company that has zero support whatsoever.
