Unlike DS Station, the Nintendo Zone client is rigged to only connect to an AP with a certain Broadcom tag. In other words, the client is rigged to only work with a certain router.(This tag is for the NIC/driver, not a specific router.

When the AP has the correct SSID, WEP key, and Broadcom tag, the client attempts to connect to the AP.(WEP key is generated from the SSID, Nintendo software can automatically connect to these APs without any configuration.)
