... A D-Link WBR-1310. Cost me $60 US and then some, I get it home, see if it's compatible.
Nintendo WiFi - Yes it is.
Me - Oh-kay!
(Fast forward to me putting the disk in.)
As I look at the box, its says that I need a wireless adapter.
Me - ... ;_;
Now, my first question - Do I NEED it to participate in Nintendo WiFi matches?
Next, I read the instructions and work on the basics. (Plug it into my modem and whatnot).
I turn on my DS and get the error code 52100...

Our experience has shown that this error message is typically caused by a basic setting in your router, such as transmission rate. Please carefully read the instructions below:
* Check Nintendo's router info for special notes, if available, for your router.
1. Click here(link) to go to our Wireless Router Configuration page.
2. Use the drop-down box on the left to select, if available, your router manufacturer.
3. Click on your router's model number, if available.
4. Read any "special notes" at the top of the router's page. Many issues can be solved by changing settings described in the "special notes."
* If the router is not listed on our pages, or has no suggested basic rate and transmission rate changes, log into the router, and check likely areas for the basic rate and transmission rate. (e.g., "Wireless Settings," "Advanced Wireless Settings," "Connection Rates") Change the basic rate to "1-2." Change the transmission rate to "2." (Make the change even if only one of those options is available). Test the connection.
* Another device may be sharing the same I.P. address of the DS. Try manually assigning an IP address to your Nintendo DS.
1. The first thing you'll need to do is find out the range of IP addresses you should be using. To do this:
1. Click the "Start" button in the lower left-hand corner of your computer.
2. Click "Run."
3. Type "cmd" into the box and press Enter.
4. Type "IPCONFIG/ALL" and press Enter. The IP address of the PC will be displayed.
5. The IP address you are going to assign to the Nintendo DS must be 10 digits higher than the PC's. (e.g., 192.168.1.100 becomes 192.168.1.110).
6. Enter in the exact same values for your Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, Primary DNS and Secondary DNS.
2. You will now need to manually assign this new IP address to your Nintendo DS. For step-by-step instructions on how to do this, please click here.(link)
* Ensure you have entered the correct DNS into the DS's manual settings. You can verify this by using the steps listed directly above (IPCONFIG/ALL).
If you are still unable to connect, please call 1-800-255-3700 in the USA or Canada for more information.
