Hey, I was just wondering, how do you create 2 Networks when you only have 1 Router? My router is a Linksys and currently only has one Network. I cant seem to get my DS to connect to the current network and my grandpa doesnt want to change the settings to make it so that my DS CAN connect to it so I figured it'd be easier to just make a second Network that connects to the internet just like the other one, only this time it has the settings that let my DS connect to it.

When I say easier I mean not by process of creating this second network but I meant that if this fails....then at least my grandpa does not have to reset everything and they cant get online even with their network. I don't want to mess with the network that is already made.

Please, if there is a way possible to make it so that I can have 2 fully functional internet accessible networks existing in a single router, tell me!

This won't work: a router has all of the required hardware (ports, antenna, processing cards, and so on) built to handle a single wireless network at a time. It's possible that some high-end routers are able to do this, but you'd have to spend some precious money on something probably expensive.

Instead of messing around with your network, how about getting the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector? You should be able to find this in most stores for a decent price. The unit marked as compatible with the Wii also works with the DS, and the opposite is true too.

Hm, well seeing your response to this that might be my only option....and I'll have to hurry and buy one of those soon since Nintendo discontinued the production of the Wi-Fi USB connector

I have one that collects dust (since I now have a wireless router and don't use my DS all that much anymore). I can send it to you for free if you want. You'd have to hunt down the software for it since I lost the CD for it...
