Does Nintendo DS WiFi still work?

Yes, a Nintendo DS can connect to Wi-Fi, but it requires specific settings because it only supports older security like WEP or no security, not modern WPA/WPA2, and the official Nintendo servers are down, so you need to use fan-made DNS for online games, often through a phone hotspot with no password or WEP enabled. You set it up through a compatible game's Wi-Fi settings, find your network, enter the password, and then manually change the DNS to a fan-server address like 178.62.157.155 (for Kaeru WFC).
