Unfortunately no, the wi-fi chip inside the Nintendo DS does support pinging WPA networks with the right software but DS games are built to only connect to WEP wi-fi connections. So sorry, but if you wanted to play on a WPA network, its not possible.

How do you get Nintendo wifi-connection if you have wpa?

The Nintendo DS can only use WEP encryption. The DSi and 3DS can connect to WPA for internet and other internal functions, but only 3DS games and special 'DSi-enhanced' ones can be played over WPA, they are unable to play regular DS games over it. The only real solution is to change your router to WEP.

How do you get wi-fi connection on your DS if you have a router that's using WPA encryption?

I think you can't use a router with a WPA connection with the Nintendo DS. I tried it with our router, but finally gave up and configured the router to WEP instead. The regular DS and DS lite cannot decrypt WPA security, but the DSi can. You could get a Nintendo USB wi-fi adapter which plugs into the PC and turns it into another access point, the DS can connect to this. It doesn't matter that your router is using WPA, because only your PC is connecting to that, the DS is now connecting to a signal broadcast by the PC itself. But please note when using WPA on the DSi that only newer games will work with it. Old DS games will not work which is a shame.

How do you set up your DS to your router without changing it from wpa to wep?

The original DS and DS lite cannot use WPA encryption. Nintendo did hope to do so, but this encryption mode would require certain components that would have made the console larger and heavier. The only way to get around it, is for your own computer to act as a wireless hotspot, using Nintendo's USB wi-fi adaptor, or similar device. That way your DS connects to your computer rather than directly to the router - all the WPA encryption is handled by your PC itself.
