I have a question. I'm sure that it requires a high-speed internet connection, but can I use DSL instead of broadband?

dsl IS a type of brodband so yes as long as you have win xp

Do I need a router And a USB cable? Or just one?

a router plugs in useing cat 5 eathernet not usb and yes you will need a cable

also some computers older comutes dont have built in eathernet ports
you will need to install a network card

I'm sorry if this has been asked a million times already, but I really can't find the answer, so here goes:

Can I visit a friend's town online even if they're NOT online? Can I download a gamer's friend code, then, for instance, go online and visit their town, drop off a note (while they're offline) or something? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have Windows 2000, with Comcast "High Speed," Internet.
When I get the linksys thinger, and hook everything up, I should
be ready to play right?

Is the type of high-speed internet you can get with a cable compatible with Wi-Fi?

I don't know

Nick772: It should work

Moocow: mNot really just make sure its either cable or DSL... If you are on dial-up.. it wont work... Its best to get a wireless router although some go for the USB thingy...

Question:

I have a wireless router and on NintendoWi-Fi.com my router is mentioned. When I get Animal Crossing all I have to do is put the game in and play right? Or do I have to have a USB connector?

You should just be able to play. The nintendo Wifi adaptor is only for people who do not have a wireless router or access point.
Just to let you know my router isn't mentioned at all and it's fine. Don't go on what nintendo have have specified, they do not have the time or money to test every single router or access point that you can buy.

Oh, ok. Thank you very much you just made my Christmas even better!

Just to clear up something that was said a few posts earlier:

Inventor stated that the game works wirelessly if you use Windows XP. That is true only if you are trying to use the wi-fi USB cable; it isn't supporting Macintosh at this time (shame on Nintendo for that; it's an oversight they should correct soon). However, if you have a wi-fi capable wireless router and a broadband connection (cable or DSL), then ACWW will work fine, regardless of what computer system you use, whether it is the superior Mac OS or the inferior Windoze.

In addition to my previous post, I meant to show the link of where a LOT of answers are found. Read the FAQ's on the tech support link of Nintendo's Wifi site, or just click this:

Hope that helps!!

Thanks for the link, Jon

So, if you have DSL and a wireless internet connection, does your computer have to be on for it to work? And do you have to be in that room?

Nope, not at all.

Your router broadcasts the signal. The only thing that needs to be on is the Router, and your DS.

You don't necessarily have to be in the same room, but It depends on your router. I can reach all ends or my house without a problem. I have also heard that the USB WiFi connector has just about the same range.

Question: I think I have a router in my kitchen, but I want to know if it will work with my games or not. When I get a DS and AC:WW, can I check if it's compatable somehow? People have been talking about a way to check by using your games. Can someone explain it to me, please?

Thanks, but that's not exactly what I meant. Without checking anything with my router, there's supposed to be a way I can check it with my game, right?

that i dont know if there is a whey

is msn highspeed

can two wi-fi players live in the same house

Yes.

Kelly2010, see what type of router you have and see if Nintendo has rated it. Click.
