How Do I Go on the Internet as Soon as I Get the DSi?

The Nintendo DSi not only allows users to play video games--they can also access the Internet and explore the Web using the Nintendo DSi browser. Online, you can check your email and download additional applications for use with your console. To start accessing the Internet right away, you must have a wireless network in range. You must also have the security key, if one is required to access the wireless network.
