Does anyone know if you can connect ds to internet using a mobile dongle?

I've recently ditched BT and therefore no longer have a landline, so have switched to a '3' mobile dongle instead of regular broadband. Doesnt work fab in my concrete tower block, but hey ho. I'd rather that than use BT again! Anyway, my problem now is that I'm not sure if I can use my dongle with my ds, and if so can I just plug it straight in to my DS, or do i need another cable? I'd really appreciate some input on this one as I'd love to be able to play over the net (I've not sucessfully managed to use the DS online at all yet, as I had an orange livebox before and that wasnt compatible with my DS either!).

Thanks in advance for your help!

For internet with the ds, u dont plug anything in its all wireless. the '3' dongle gives u wireless internet which is good. to set up internet on your ds, put in a wifi compatible game, and wherever in that game there is an option for NINTENDO WFC CONNECTION (it may change, in mario kart the option is on a main screen, animal crossing talk to ppl) go into that and tap a blank internet connection box and search for an access point. when its found ur 3 internet itll connect. u can now play internet games on ur ds when ur neer that access point. hope i helped

Polaroid Speaker PBT516 does not connect with my Blue Tooth dongle on my PC. Using the Samsung TAB E it picked it up at once.

NO Dell PC stated, 30 years of PC it can be, missing BT options sure.
not BT dongle maker and brand stated.
but that must be installed first, and get the BT driver working first
is this a WINDOWS based PC, dell sells pCs with many OS
Windows is but one. and comes in XP,VISTA,W7/w8/w8.1 and w10 (8versions of 10, v1903 is now)
the BT must showup in the device manager, what ever dongle you bought IDK, and the PC must be internet connected so the poor thing can actually use Plug and PLAY.
then when that works you must force BT scan. doing the Pair steps stated in your speaker manual BT
