You must either have broadband internet access and a wireless router or you can connect your Nintendo DSi at a hotspot, such as a library or coffee shop that offers internet access. Make sure you are in a location mentioned above before going to step 2.
Turn on your Nintendo DSi and click on the wrench icon. This will take you to the system settings Go to page 3 and select "Internet"
Click "Connection Settings"
Click "None" to the right of "Connection 1".

Click "Search for an Access Point".
Look for an access point that has a gold lock that is unlocked. Select that access point and your Nintendo DSi should now be connected.

f you are planning on playing games online with your Nintendo DSi and have WPA security, you will have to set your router to WEP security.
To do this, get back to the "Connection Settings" screen mentioned in step 4.

Click "Advanced Setup".

Click any button that says "none".

Click "Search for an Access Point".

My dsi not leting me in facebook

Sometimes dsi's don't do Facebook. check your internet connection settings. Also you need wi-fi for Facebook on a dsi. And if that doesn't work, your dsi was made before 2010. They started doing Facebook for the dsi in 2011. If it was made in 2011, then go to www.nintendo.com and type in "contact nintendo" in the search bar. Click on "nintendo-contact us!", put in your e-mail and choose "DSi" and so on.

unlocked_select.png if this pops up beside a connection point, it means that it is has no security measures. u can freely connect to it..

Select "OK," "Save Settings," and then "Yes."

How do you get on the internet if you don"t have

Turn on the Nintendo DSi then Click on the wrench icon to access "System Settings." Select "Internet" on the third page of System Settings. Select "Connection Settings" and tap the "None" bar in "Connection 1." You have the option of setting up a connection manually, or searching for available connections in the area. The easiest thing to do is select "Search for an Access Point." Your Nintendo DSi will list the names of any wireless access points in range. A gold, unlocked icon next to the connection's name signifies an unlocked WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) connection that can be accessed immediately. A locked gold icon signifies an encrypted WEP connection that requires a WEP key (password).
If you are accessing a locked/encrypted connection, enter your WEP key. You may also click "Change Security Settings" to enter a WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) key. If your WEP key is correct, your Nintendo DSi should connect. You can test your connection to verify. You're set! Now you can surf the Internet, purchase games and add-ons in the Nintendo DSi Shop, and play games that allow wireless access and competition (with WEP connections, only).
Note Most Nintendo DS and DSi owners can get online by searching for an access point, but some might have to resort to manual setup.The Nintendo DSi can go online with a WPA connection, but actually playing DSi games online requires a WEP connection.
hope this helps
