Yes, it is, but only for its browser and things like the DSi Store. It cannot play a game over a WPA connection - this is something that was hard coded into the games themselves when the cartridges were designed, to only use WEP encryption.

Will changing your internet from WPA to WEP do anything to your computers or anything hooked up to it?
other things are that my router is Netgear, the internet is from comcast, and it is wireless internet. The reason i am asking this is because i want to be able to play Nintendo ds games online. Problem is that WEP is weaker than WPA in terms of security. You might want to look at the Nintendo closer. Perhaps it can be upgraded.
Why won't the Heartgold gts work on my bt hub which uses a wpa key which is compatible with DSi XL?

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.
How can connect ds to the internet?
Answer: The Nintendo DS has an 802.11b wireless adapter built in allowing the DS to access the service via any compatible wireless network. Public hotspots that use a captive portal can be accessed after login using the Nintendo DS Browser. The connection settings allows players to configure access to and save settings for up to three different networks. Connection settings can be detected automatically or entered manually. The Nintendo DS is compatible with WEP encryption. Nintendo DSi, released in Japan on November 1, 2008, and in the USA on April 5, 2009, is compatible with both WPA and WEP encryptions.

Can Nintendo ds be played with wpa?
Unfortunately no, the wi-fi chip inside the Nintendo DS does support pinging WPA networks with the right software but DS games are built to only connect to WEP wi-fi connections. So sorry, but if you wanted to play on a WPA network, its not possible.
Why cant you use WiFi on your dsi?
You can use Wifi on a DSI, if it doesn't work with you then it's probably because you have WPA connection security settings. WPA connection will allow you to surf the internet and go on the DSI Shop etc., but will not allow you to play games over Nintendo Wifi Connection. To do this, you will have to change your settings to WEP so that you can play on Wifi on your DSI. However, WEP is not as safe to use an internet connection as WPA, so be careful. Hope I Helped...
