What is a wireless adaptor for ds?

The Nintendo Wii/DS wireless adaptor is a USB plugin that plugs into your PC. This turns your own PC into a wireless hotspot that the DS or the Wii can connect to, so if your computer uses a wired connection, you can connect them wirelessly. It can also be used if your own router uses WPA encryption - the DS can only connect using WEP, and can use the adaptor to connect instead. Note that while the DSi can use WPA encryption, this is only for the DSi store or browser, not games, so it can be useful to DSi users too.
