A key is a tool which allows for the encryption of data sent between the Nintendo
DSi and an access point. The access point and the system must be set to the same
value.It’salsoknownasacodekeyorpassword.
An IP address is a unique set of numbers that identies computers on a network.
The value that indicates which number of the IP address represents the network
to which the IP address is attached.

same network where to go to nd either other computers on the same network,
or how to get out of the network to access the Internet.
DNS, or Domain Name Service, is the method of translating the name of a
