Can I play DS online with broadband dongle?
Question by Louisa P: Can I play DS online with broadband dongle?
I have a nintendo ds, and a 3 mobile broadband dongle: is there any way I can play my DS online with this? Do I need to buy any connectors or wifi’s or can I plug it straight into the DS? Has anyone else done this?

Your 3 Mobile Broadband dongle will give you your connection to the internet and cannot be plugged into the DS to take it online.
It sounds like you have the mobile dongle plugged into a laptop or PC and do not connect to the internet using a router. This leaves you with needing to get the USB WiFi connection that Nintendo sell for those who do not use a router to get online.
They can be purchased at most retailers. See this link for more details on the USB connection http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Wi-Fi_USB_Connector
Alternatively you could look at IGN’s hands-on article found at http://uk.ds.ign.com/articles/665/665128p1.html
You must buy something to play.
