    No, the DS cannot accept WPA. You have to set up a WEP access point to use the DS online.

    It would be possible for nintendo to release a firmware upgrade that adds wpa encryption to the DS. They don't because they're stupid.

    Maybe they are afraid that the firmware release would be cracked and someone would find out how to make custom firmware for the DS :)

    The R4li group did create firmware that works on the R4. They were nice and decided to help out those with the original R4.
    It is better than the 1.18 But I'm not sure how it compares to Ysmenu/DSTT 1.17a12 for the R4.

    I reckon it might be a complcated process for some people, unlike the dsi with updatable firmware the old ds doesn't have a download program...I'm no expert but nintendo might have another reason...other than the fact that the dsi does it (yet the games themselves lack wpa modes-that wi-fi settings menu is built into the games and they aren't compatible with wpa-though the settings are infact saved onto the ds as well)

    good point.. but you would think they could bring an update out for ds if its already enabled for dsi but you cant use to play online.. *confused*
