If my router had a USB slot in it could I plug the dongle into that? I am looking to upgrade my router anyway and was wondering if this would be possible. The reason I ask is that we dont have a desktop connected to the router, just use laptops in the house. Also I'm assuming the PC would have to be on?
Unfortunately, as I posted in my update, it seems it's been discontinued.

I suppose you may be able to find one somewhere though.

You couldn't plug it into the router - it would have to connect to a PC (desktop or laptop), and the PC would have to be running to share its own connection with the DS.

No ethernet on the DS - just WiFi with obsolete WEP (& the proprietary encryption for a dongle that has been discontinued).
