I've got a wired modem and have never really needed wireless. I just got a DS and want to use it online. What steps do i have to take to get a wireless modem working?.

Let me bump this for you. Unless I misunderstand your query, what you want is a 'wireless router' rather than a 'wireless modem'. I've been out of the loop regarding cable routers for a while, so will leave it to others to recommend one. You should be able to pick up a decent one for about £30. You plug your modem into the router, and the router allows you to share the internet connection with several devices, either wired, or wireless.

Ok I can tell you're on Cable, do you have a router connected yet?

Remember a DS needs WEP encrytion (I think) - most routers default to WPA
