No you do not need a Wii, you need to have a broadband internet connection and a wireless router in your home, or find a Wifi hotspot such as McDonalds, Starbucks, Barnes and Nobles, etc.

If you are using it at home and your router is secured (which it should be!) you will have to have that information to set up your DS wifi connection. Also take note that the original DS (also know as DS Phat) and the DS Lite only recognize WEP security, so if your using anything different you will have to change to that. The DSi and upcoming DSiXL/LL suporrt WPA in addition to WEP
