Nintendo's support page has default settings for wireless routers. Dell is not among them. I have a Dell 2350 router, was it made by another manufacturer? How do I find the name of my network (SSID) and WEP key for this router?
Re: Nintendo's support page doesn't list Dell routers
You will need to check the wireless settings of the
router is there any computer connected to the router ? If yes then you can open the router set up page on
that computer. Router set up page is the page where you can check
all the wireless settings of the router.
once you get the wireless settings of the router, you can try to connect to the wireless network.

Welcome to Fixya. Nintendo Dsi/DS/Ds XL connects to the internet using wireless
connection. You need to know the settings of your router. I've listed
below the steps on how you will access the router and to obtain the
information needed for you to be connected.
How to access the Router: 1. You need to know the ipaddress of your router. You can refer to the manual or check the Default Gateway
of your computer (Make sure that you connect the computer to the router
using an ethernet cable for you to get the Default Gateway). Click on START then RUN. Type CMD on the small box on the lower left of the screen. Type IPCONFIG on the black window and get the value of your DEFAULT GATEWAY (it starts with 192.168.x.x)
2. Open a Browser, Type the DEFAULT GATEWAY
on the address bar of your Browser. It will ask you for a username and
password. (Refer to the manual of your router or post a reply so that i
can provide you the username and password of your router)
3. Go to the Wireless Settings Page of your router. Look for the SSID or the Network Name and theNetwork Key or Passphrase. You can personalize it so that you can easily remeber the details.
4. Make sure you connect to your SSID and enter the Network Key to make it secure.
Now that we already know the setting of the router then its now time to connect the Dsi to the network.
1. Go to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Settings of the Game
2. Search for an Access Point (SSID)
3. Select your Network (SSID), If you have an open network, just click "OK" and it should work just fine! If it's a Red Padlock, it'll prompt you for a Password or Network Key. This is the reson why we access the router.

Error
Code: 051099
This error code can
occur for two different reasons:
You are trying to agree to the User Agreement of the Nintendo DSi or
Nintendo DSi XL, but are receiving error code 51099. This can occur if
the Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL tries to connect to Nintendo's
servers to download the User Agreement, but there is no existing
Internet connection setup on the system. To connect your Nintendo DSi or
Nintendo DSi XL to the Internet, please click
here.
You are trying to play a Nintendo DS game online with a Nintendo DSi
or Nintendo DSi XL, but your home Internet is set to WPA security.
Please read the following:
There appears to be a compatibility issue with the security settings
on your router: Are you using WPA
security? No,
I am using WEP security
If you are using a Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL, you will be able
to connect online and use many online features with WPA security.
However, you will not be able to play original
Nintendo DS games that are Wi-Fi compatible, as they are only
programmed to work with WEP security. In order to play these games
online, you will need to do the following (If you are not receiving this
error when attempting to connect games online, click
here):
Change your wireless security to WEP or temporarily disable wireless
security if you wish to connect to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
If you are unable to log into your router or do not know how, you
can check our router look-up page (link)
to see if it is listed. If your model number is not listed, check any
similar models from the same manufacturer for default information. If
you are still unable to log into your router, please refer to the router
manufacturer or the company that provided it.
Make sure your router is not on our list
of incompatible routers. If it is, we recommended using a router
that is compatible or co
nnecting from a hotspot location.
The wireless security settings are typically found under sections
labeled 'Wireless', 'Basic Wireless' or 'Wireless Security'.
Change the security mode to WEP, and chose your encryption type.
The 64-bit encryption type typically uses a 10 character key while the
128-bit encryption type uses a 26 character key. Hexadecimal keys
consist of letters A-F and 0-9, whereas ASCII keys have no limitations
and are case sensitive. Be sure to use the key that is listed in 'key
slot 1' and make sure you are not using a 'passphrase'. For specific
information about changing your security type please see your router's
manual or contact the manufacturer.
Important Note: it is recommended that any
changes made to the router are performed from a computer that is wired
via Ethernet cable to the router. In addition, any changes made to
wireless security must also be adjusted on other wireless devices in the
home that use the router (e.g. laptops, other game systems, etc). For
instructions on how to change these devices, refer to the user manuals
for these devices or contact the manufacturer.
Establish a connection in connection files 1-3 on the Nintendo DSi
or Nintendo DSi XL. Make sure you are putting the WEP key into the
Nintendo DSi exactly as it appears on your router page.
If the
error persists while using WEP (or if you are receiving this error with
other Wi-Fi features), follow these steps:
Keep trying, as there may be a temporary network issue. If the
problem persists, or has been consistent over a period of time, move on
to the next step.
Configure the Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL manually
Please note: if your router is set to broadcast the network but
the Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL is not finding the access point then
a manual setup will not resolve the error. There may be another
problem, such as interference, or a basic setting in your router that is
causing compatibility issues. Be sure that your router is set to
'Enable SSID broadcast' or 'Enable Wireless broadcast'. If you prefer
to keep your network name hidden, verify the correct spelling and case
of your router's SSID.

more then likely the wireless router will work with the DS. You'll just need to make sure you enter the settings exactly. You should just be able to put a wpa-psk key in your wireless router and on the DS.
In the computer world just because something isn't supported, doesn't mean it won't work. It just means the manufacturer won't help you make it work.

To connect the Nintendo Wii to your wireless router, the following settings must be set to the router.
*Wireless Network Name (SSID) - must be one word *Wireless Encryption/Security - must be WEP *Network Mode - must be Mixed
Open your router's admin page using Internet Explorer and type http://192.168.0.1 and type your router's password. By default username is admin and password leave it blank.
When you get to the router's setup page, look for wireless tab then change the Wireless Security Mode to WEP 64-bits/10 Hex digits. Type in any 10-digit hexadecimal key on Key 1, then save your settings. You should remember the 10-digit key because you'll going to use it on your Wii settings.
On your Wii settings, try to reconnect to wireless network then type in your 10-digit key. That should do it.
