# Easily transfer your settings to another DS (using normal DS wireless connections)
# Space for three connections—no need to change router settings every time you use a different network.
# A separate one-touch connection for the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector
# For each connection

Easily search for a wireless network

One-touch AOSS support for Buffalo routers and access points.

Manual Setup

# Under Manual Setup

Auto-obtain DNS or explicitly define Primary & secondary DNS servers, Gateway, Subnet mask, etc.

SSID and WEP Key (WPA does indeed seem to be unsupported)

DHCP or manual IP assignment

With the exception of WPA—which is a new enough standard to still be spottily supported among deployed wireless networks anyway—this is a comprehensive list of settings.

Seems pretty easy to setup. Plus 3 connection profiles is nice as well. But no WPA support...

I can't wait to try this out. I wonder if Pictochat works with this WiFi service.

I don't know. Since the WiFi features seem to be implemented in the game catridges, maybe there's a way to use it via the games. Plus Nintendo talked about buddy list in the games. So chances aren't that bad.
Anyway, a cool feature would be VoIP for the NDS. :p
 
How does wifi affect battery life of the DS? And what's the EFFECTIVE (as opposed to instruction manual) range of it?
