 Not compatable with Vista December 31, 2008
The disc doesn't have the software required to run with windows vista, it tells you download updates from Buffalo (manufacturer) but these don't have the driver information for Vista. From researching around the internet it would appear that this is an unsolvable problem until new software is released, I am sceptical that new software will be released as they have stopped manufacturing these dongles for the foreseeable future.
 The only way for DS wifi with a WPA secure router. November 1, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
When I moved to university for my third year I was disappointed to discover I no longer had the ability to wifi as the router of the house I am sharing is set to the WPA security setting. So it was a relief after suffering through a few weeks of wifi withdrawal symptoms (:|) to find out about this baby! It works well on the whole, only occassionally yielding an error message on the game I use it with (Animal Crossing: Wild World) but then I just try again and it usually works; the worst I've had to resort to was a computer restart. Ignore looking up the error codes - they're usually nonsense.
Since I don't really know of any alternatives in my situation I'd have to recommend it if you want to keep your router on the WPA setting (which is more secure than the WEP alternative) but still have the abilitiy to wifi. One major advantage is if you play your DS close to the computer in which you've inserted the usb connector, you will always have the full signal. You no longer have to be within a certain distance of your router. This is especially convenient if you use a laptop.
 Technical Issues March 25, 2008

Bought this product for use with my Wii and was impressed at how easy it was to set up. Installed first time, but then the next day it stopped working. The device simply isn't recognised by the computer - have tried re-installing drivers to no avail. Un-installed the device and now cannot install afresh - very annoying!

I purchased the Nintendo WiFi USB for use with my nintendo Wii on the 1st March 08 and was amazed to receive it on the 3rd March 08
After having a nightmare with a cheaper USB link i took the plunge and went for the Nintendo USB,and followed the on-screen instructions on my PC,after 10 minutes i had my internet connection.
i would recommend this product to anyone with Windows XP or Windows Vista

Well after reading ALL the reviews on here and on other places, I decided to buy one of these, I was extremely spekitcal as to whether this connector would work.
So I plugged it in when it told me to and whatnot and it worked! I was shocked! I've had one problem where it disconnected me but I believe that could have been my dodgy wireless. Either way I'm impressed.
The only thing that worries me is how long it will continue to work, but for now I am happy. I would suggest buying one from amazon themselves, that way it can be return if you find it to be faulty.
