What kind of wireless router is good for playing WiFi on your DS Lite?

I have a speedstream 4100 router but it is not wireless. I am planning to change to a wireless router but I want to know which routers are good for a DS Lite WiFi connection. I heard that some wireless routers don't work with the DS.

Things to know about connecting to the internet with a DS:
1. Only WEP connections work with the DS
2. If you already have an internet connection, you can use the
Nintendo Wi-Fi USB connector (for more info on the usb connector, see link: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/wfc/en_na/ds/connection.jsp#usb )
3. You can get connections at internet hotspots. You can usually identify a hotspot by looking at a buildings window. If they host a hotspot, they should have a sticker saying Wi-Fi Hotspot or something like that.
3b. Only cerain hotspots work with the DS. These hotspots charge fees and/or require special login. To find your nearest Nintendo DS Compatible hotspot, go to http://www.nintendowifi.com/hotspots/searchHotSpot.do?locale=en_US .
