Does the DSi support WPA2?
Bookmark this question. Show activity on this post. I’ve learned that original (and Lite) Nintendo DS systems do not support WPA/WPA2 Wifi encryption, but the newer hardware (DSi, 3DS) does. I’ve also learned that this only applies to newer games, and that older games require WEP, even on newer systems.
