DS Misc > Do you think N will use the WIFI-USB dongle for Rev also?

#58142 - zubiac - Fri Oct 21, 2005 9:39 am

...it is possible that Nintendo uses the same WIFI-USB dongle for connecting the Revolution to the net that they release soon for NDS?
You know...for people who haven't a wifi router?
Or will they come with another dongle?

I bloody hope the rev will be able to use the same USB dongle btw.

I believe that nintendo have said that the revolution will use the same dongle.

It's been confirmed in recent news articles on IGN that the DS is the "test method" for going online, whereas the Revolution will utilize the same network. So yes, it's entirely possible, if not definate, that they are both compatible with the up-coming Nintendo Wifi USB dongle.

How would I know, I don't even know you? At any rate, I meant no disrespect with my last message.

no no no.....u missunderstood me.
I just meant that I hardly visit IGN at all.

so again thanks for your info.
I'm happy that the DS dongle will be usable for the REV too.
Lots of "I don't how to set up a Wifi router"-ppl(there are lots of them,believe me) will be very pleased.

While a little bit offtopic: Will we be able to connect with multiple DS'es/revo's to one dongle at the same time?
