For "public" i.e. company owned WiFis like fast food restaurants, you should be able to launch your wireless connection by double clicking the wireless icon in the lower right hand corner of the screen, close to where the clock is. (This are is known as the systray.) When it comes up, you should be able to click on the WiFi connection. However, some public WiFi networks may require you to sign up or even to pay for the use of the network. With these, once you have double clicked on the wireless network in question and opened your web browser, a page will appear with instructions on how to gain access to it.

Private WiFis are much more difficult, as they can have WEP or WPA security turned on, have MAC filtering enabled, and have their SSIDs hidden. If you go to someone's house, you will probably need their assistance in getting onto their wireless network. If you can get on it readily, you should be a good friend and advise them to implement some security.

What is the problem when you cant connect to wifi with a Nintendo dsi even with the rite password?

To connect a WiFi network you need to find the access point on your DSi first. To do this go to system settings, then Internet, then touch something that manual set-up, once you've touched that touch something that says find access point or access point. It should then come up with the WiFi network you want to connect to, so you touch it and it should do a signal test, if it can't connect because of a weak signal strength move closer to your wireless Internet router. Once you've connected to the signal you put in the password for your network if it is protected. If it doesn't work, then I'm not sure what's wrong, it may be a problem with your Internet. Anyway I hope I helped :)
