Nintendo DSi cannot connect to wireless network

I use my Time Capsule to provide a wireless network for the Wii and DS. Today I picked up the DSi and it can't connect to the network. The only tips I could find suggested that the WEP key needs to be key 1, but I believe this is already the case for the Time Capsule, isn't it? Also, the original DS and Wii can still connect just fine.

OK,
I managed to connect my DSi to the Time Capsule (Airport Extreme).
My configuration, due to some old WiFi items, can not be other than WEP for b/g.
The DSi apparently won't connect with WEP security but it is working with WAP2 Personal
So, in the Airport settings, get to the Guest Network and set it up either open (but then everyone can access the network) or secured with WAP2 Personal. Choose a password (you can use the same you used for the other networks, and then try to connect with the DSI... it works, no work around with manual set up of DNS or other. Just make sure you choose the GUEST network you set up when you connect the DSi and use the password you typed in the Airport Extreme, not the equivalent network password.

Hope it works for you also as worked for me.
