Hi there. The error indicates that there is no available WiFi in your area. If ever there is WiFi and you still cannot connect then that means that the protection on the wireless connection is WPA2-PSK enabled. To be able to use your DSi to connect to a WPA protected wireless connection, do the following:
1.Go to "Settings" (wrench icon)
2.Go to third page, and select "Internet"
3.Go to "Connection Settings"
4.Then go to "Advanced Settings"
Change WEP to WPA and then it should work.
