Default How to play Nintendo DS lite online?

Got one today, didnt get a manual with it so ive no idea how i connect wireless.
I dont have a wireless connection at home, just an adsl modem, and i dont have any use for a router so if im out somewhere, where is the best place to try it online? and also HOW do i do it?

Thanks

Easiest way is with a wireless router, or you can buy a usb thing that goes in your pc, but thats just extra hassle and the pc has to be on when you want to use the DS!

If you do decide to get one, check first if it is compatible with a DS!
We got a new one and it wasnt

Oh right, any ideas what its called? not sure what to google

As said i dont really have a use for a wireless router as we only have one pc in the house, and its on like 14 hours a day so the usb thingy sounds ideal
