I better hope that extra $2.50 an hour im making is enough for me to get MK next friday..after bills of course. Your all tempting me too much to wait

[The Duggler]

Ok, I'm buying MK for sure, but I'm not sure what to get to get online.

I heard about 2 things. A compatible router and that Nintendo USB thingy wich transform a USB port on a connected computer into a wifi hot point.

Which is better?

[The Duggler]

Wow the game is great! Can't wait to play this online.

[Dyne]

Either one is good but one is pretty much cheaper - although it's only available online right now. That's the Nintendo Dongle.

The problem with just going out and buying the cheapest router is that it might not work well. Check http://www.nintendowifi.com for more details and a list of routers that are compatible.

Ah, id love to give you mine right now, but I still havent purchased the game. With any luck I'll have it tomorrow evening, and I will share my friends code as soon as possible.

Oh and Nitram, I bought a Linksys BEFW11S4 several months ago. After rebates it ended up being like 10 bucks. Sure its not wireless G, but its wireless B, and thats all that you need for the DS anyways, it was a breeze to set up, and its 5 star recommended according to Nintendo. I guess we will see for sure how well it works as soon as I purchase the game, which should be tomorrow.

[Teuthida]

I use that router. I just had to change my WEP Key from 64bit to 128bit. But after that worked like a charm.

It does seem awfully weird that it works for some routers and not others, doesn't it? I've never heard of a laptop being incompatible with a router (does PSP have compatability problems?).

If you need a solution, any cheap router can be doubled as a repeater of your existing router network. You just have to tell it that you don't want it to be a router, only to be a hub.

This game makes me wish I had DS!! Grrr... but I can't buy a DS though at the price it is, but as soon as GameBoy 3 comes out and the DS drops to $30 I hope people are still playing MKDS.

You need to enter the DS's MAC number into your router's setup.

[Teuthida]

I restarted my game so I have a new friend code. In my sig.

[GameMaster]

D'oh! Now I have to change that in my friend roster. If I can even do that. If not, I delete the old you and add the new you.

[Dyne]

I plan to wear my winning streak or losing streak no matter what.

[GameMaster]

You think Action Replay will eventually corrupt online racing?
