No. The DS is an 802.11b wireless device that does not support WPA security protocols. The DS can only connect to wireless networks that use WEP encryption.
Additionally, although the DSi and 3DS are 802.11g devices that support WPA, they are restricted to WEP/open networks only when playing DS games, with the exclusion of certain titles (such as Pokemon Black/White) due to the limitations of DS.

What security settings does the Nintendo 3DS support?
The wi-fi supports WEP and WPA encryption but any DS game that is not 'dsi-enhanced' can only go online on a WEP connection even though the 3DS can connect using WPA.
What WiFi modes are supported by the 3DS?
The 3DS is classified as an 802.11g device, meaning that it can connect to any network that supports at least G-mode. (Most if not all routers that support 802.11N are backwards compatible with a, b, and g modes.) The 3DS is capable of connecting to wireless networks that use WEP or WPA security for both 3DS and DSi games. Due to software limitations, the 3DS cannot connect to a WPA security network if playing a DS game.
How do you get Nintendo wifi-connection if you have wpa?
The Nintendo DS can only use WEP encryption. The DSi and 3DS can connect to WPA for internet and other internal functions, but only 3DS games and special 'DSi-enhanced' ones can be played over WPA, they are unable to play regular DS games over it. The only real solution is to change your router to WEP.
