I bought one of the navy DS Lites a couple weeks after launch. I love it and play it every so often, though not every day. However, I've always had trouble getting it to connect to wifi, for things like trading pokemon. At first I thought it was just me being an idiot, but then I borrowed a friend's DS and it connected to my network just fine. Recently, its been having trouble even connecting through wireless communications with a 2nd DS that's right next to it. So, I'm pretty sure that my DS's internal modem (or whatever it is that harnesses the internets) is broken.
My question is, is there something I can do to fix it? or do I need to get a new DS if I want to be able to use wireless/wi-fi?

You
can play multiplayer games with a Nintendo DS Lite even if you don’t
possess a copy of the game. If one of your friends has a multiplayer game card, they can use their Nintendo DS Lite as a host for the game session and you can join the multiplayer game.
jQuery('.intro .thumbnail').each(function(i,e){
jQuery(e).find('img').one('error',function(){ jQuery(e).remove(); });
});
Things You'll Need:
Nintendo DS Lite
Using One Card to Host the Game
Step 1
Look on the game’s
packaging for the "Multiplayer" icon. If the game requires only one
player to have a copy of the game, the icon will show two DS Lites: a
DS Lite with a black screen transmitting waves to a DS Lite with a
white screen. Below the two DS Lites is a range of numbers which
indicates how many players the game can support.
Step 2
Put the game card in the Nintendo DS Lite that is acting as the host for the multiplayer game session and start it up.
Step 3
Have
the other players turn on their systems. They will use the main menu
screen to access the "DS Download Play" icon. They need to tap the icon
to begin downloading the game information from the host DS Lite.
Step 4
Begin playing when all of the systems have finished downloading the game information from the host.
Multiple Cards for Multiple Players
Step 1
Look
at the "Multiplayer" icon. If every player in the game session needs a
copy of the game in order to play, the icon will show two DS Lites,
both with black screens, transmitting waves toward each other. A range
of numbers is under this graphic and indicates how many people can play
at one time.
Step 2
Read
the game's instruction manual on how to set up the game session. The
steps required vary by company and sometimes by title within the same
company.
Unfortunately, this is a common problem to do with the actual contacts on the back of your R4 card. A small minority of Nintendo DS Lite units have the contacts points set SLIGHTLY further back, meaning the contact is bad.
Try experimenting by putting a folded piece of paper in-between the R4 card and the red Nintendo DS Lite when you play it, and notice that it should play now. You can permanently wedge a small piece of paper inside the R4 card itself by carefully taking off the cover, putting the paper in, and putting the cover back. This ought to solve your problem.
If you are looking for a reliable place to buy DS and DSi cards from that will stock originals, I'd recommend using http://www.NDS-Gear.com (I've used them myself). They test every card before sending which means you won't receive dud cards, and more importantly they have support before AND after your purchase by people who reply very quickly and in perfect English. Some of these dodgy websites take 4-6 weeks to deliver and never answer e-mails, so I'm glad these guys are different. Oh, and they guarantee to dispatch by the next working day, which always helps with speed and all. And they're recommended by a lot of the DS card help sites, too.
had this problem, i looked into where the game goes and one of the little metal teeth was bent, so i took a long toothpick and gently pushed it back over now it works fine. Be careful that you dont break it off though.
