How Does Wifi Work?

I always thought all you needed was a DS and your friends ID # for Wifi Trading/battling and only a DS for the Global Trading Centre.

But apparantly you need to use your computer and a Wifi usb. Is there anyway to trade over long distances without using a wifi usb?

And is the only way i can trade to my friends without using a computer is if they are right near me with their DS?

I am confused so thanks for helping. ;123;
 
Nope.

You need to have a wireless connection to trade over long distances, and unless you have a wireless router or USB connector, you won't have one.

And your last question is correct.
 
If you have a laptop that can get on the Internet without being hooked up to anything, your DS will work on it's own. The WiFi USB is just for people who don't have access wireless router. And if you're with a friend in person, there's no need to go online, you can just do a local wireless connection.

Are all these people asking questions because they've never played a DS multiplayer game before?
 
It's easy. Just get close to a friend with a DS and DP and Then your in WiFi.. Unless u mean the WiFi that you use with people all around the world... Then I don't know.

But for the first one, you need to be 30 feet or closer for it to work. :D

Oh Thanks BCVM22.

On that page it says a high speed broadband connection is required.

Does that mean I have no way of trading over long distances because i have slow dial up?

You got it. No broadband = no Wi-Fi.

And since it's inevitable that some weisenheimer's gonna try and contradict me, here it is: You might be able to establish a wireless dial-up connection, but the connection would be so slow as to be unuseable. This is fact, anything to the contrary is wrong.
