- On Nintendo DS applications, you can only use WEP and Open WiFi
- On Nintendo DSi enhanced/exclusive applications, you have the addition of WPA2 support

Hotspots are usable, so you don't need to change your router configuration.

### Creating a hotspot
There are guides for creating a DS game compatible hotspot on macOS and Linux computers on GBAtemp. If you're on Windows you can use a Linux live boot.
