    I don't know what a Wii has to do with anything, but you do need a wireless router if you want to use WiFi. It also can't use WEP protection because the DS isn't compatible to it.

    Some routers are incompatible with the DS, but most work okay. Then you'll need friend codes to start messaging.

    The Wii has a wireless adapter built in. A wireless adapter can be used to connect to a wireless network. If this wireless network is connected to the internet, your Wii can get internet access.

    If you don't have a wireless access point in your house, you can not use your Wii online. You will then need buy a wireless access point and connect this device to your broadband connection for the Wii to get online.

    It's not complicated.

    Find out if your internet router also functions as a wireless access point. If it's got an antenna, it does.

    If it doesn't have an antenna (or several), you need to buy a wireless router or access point. Your friends at your local electronics store will help you find one.
