How can I modify my DS original so I can get better WiFi signals? I've seen videos about it but no video there they show how to do. What will I need and how am I supposed to do it? Please help! I want to increase the WiFi signals! I know that I'll need some kind of antenna, but do I need to but a special one or can I make one myself? Please help!

Btw. I didn't know where to post this, so I posted it here.

So many views but no answers... Well, I know where to put the antenna, because I know where the WiFi card is. But I don't know how to open the back side of my DS. I mean the plastic silver thing on the back, not the black one. As I've told you, I've a DS Original, not a Lite. Please help me! I want to know how I open it up! I did'nt find any screws when I opened the black backpart. Please Help!

Hmm, may seem a little sketchy, but if you dont mind some real "ghetto" mods, try this.

I've tried it, but of some reason it doesn't work... So I think that I've to open it up.

Are you looking to add an external antenna, or just up the existing one? And is it the DS's wifi that needs boosting, or your routers?

It's my DS wifi that have to be better. I want to make the signals stronger. The original strength of the DS wifi is quite bad, so I want to make it better. I've seen that some puts an antenna on the WiFi card inside of the DS, but I don't know how to do it. First of all I want to know how to open up the backside of my DS. Btw. I know how to put the antenna on the WiFi card, but as I said, I don't know how to open up the DS.
