How to Find the SSID for a DSi

The Nintendo DSi has wireless capabilities available to its users thanks to its internal Wi-Fi adapter. In order to connect to a wireless network, the device must have the wireless network's service set identifier (SSID) saved within its Internet connection settings. This enables the device to locate and identify the wireless network and then use the saved settings to make a connection. The SSID is set up on the wireless router and is used as a network ID when broadcasting to wireless devices and other networks in the area.
