Not only is the new system using 802.11n, it is also using n at 5Ghz.
Now, yes you could use the system at 802.11b/g/n, but you would have to drop it to 2.4 Ghz. No big deal. Although, when you do start using b/g/n, you will be limiting the total throughput of the wireless system. You see, to support the multiple protocols, additional encapsulation is needed for the packets, thereby, eating up some of the bandwidth. Will you notice the difference?? I don't really know for sure.
I would have to agree with cabbagekid2, connecting the laptop to the DS is easy to do, fairly convenient, and works perfectly. It is also the most cost effective solution if you don't already own a Dual band N adapter. Three manufacturers make them and the all run about $70.
