Most D-Link wireless routers -including DLink model numbers DGL-4300 (ver A1), WBR-2310 (vA1), DI-614, DI-524 (ver C1), WBR-1310vA1, DI-624 ver C3, and D-Link DI-784 ver A1 -are compatible with Nintendo DS.

However, making some (older firmware?) D-Link routers (such as DI-514 ver B1 or DI-524 ver A) work with Nintendo DS might require additional tweaking -such as setting transmission (TX) rate to 54, and configuring them to operate in Mixed Mode, etc. It is best, therefore, to stick with (newer) D-Link routers that are known to work reliably with Nintendo WFC.

Establishing a wireless link between your Nintendo DS and D-Link wireless device is essentially a two step process: (1) Verify/Update how your D-Link router has been setup, and (2) Clone those parameters in your Nintendo DS by incorporating them in one of the three Connection Save Files (CSF 1, 2 or 3).

Preventing Rogue APs from joining (having an unauthorized access to) your personal or corporate networks is not easy, and there is no single solution that guarantees 100% success.

However, you would have a reasonable degree of success in keeping those uninvited pests off your network if you follow some the suggestions outlined below.

Please be advised that the following list is not an all-inclusive one-size-fits-all cure for all your Rogue AP Blues. A lot is going to depend on how your network is designed, setup, and managed; the quality (or lack thereof) of various networking devices used on your network, and how proactive you (or your network administrators) are in monitoring your network usage and in enforcing your network security policies.

Having said that, here is a list of things you can do to improve your chances of keeping rogue APs off your network:
