A company sells their own version for £12 + delivery

Any B/G wi-fi adaptor that can act as an access point should be OK I think, Datel's DS specific model is about £15 retail and should work fine

The Belkin one, here, should do the trick.

It's the one I've been looking at, at any rate.

Yeah saw that one too in theory it should work just plug in and play.

Will that belkin one definatly work, is anyone using one at the moment?

Bought my ds lite today but my belkin router wont work with it and dont fancy spending 25-30 quid on a nintendo usb dongle.

You need the software to go with it. Any WAP would theoretically work, but a PC still needs to host the software for some reason.

Not sticking to standards annoys me a great deal.

Only if you are using a wifi card I think - my router works fine with the DS, as I think should any WAP able to pass on the DHCP lease from a router/ICS etc.
