For some reason, the Nintendo DSi cannot currently connect to a WEP-protected network on the Time Capsule. However, when you remove the WEP key, the Wii will no longer be able to connect as-is. Here is the only way I've found so far to get all three current Nintendo systems to connect to the Time Capsule's network:
- Remove any security settings (you can still use MAC address filtering and have a closed network, however).
- Manually set up the connection on the DS/DS lite/DSi by just entering the network's name
- Manually set up the connection on the Wii by entering the network's name and DNS servers
You should now have all three systems connected to your network, and be able to use all the online features. If anyone finds a better solution, please post it in the comments.
