Wireless Communication:

Systems also can connect to LAN access points to access the Internet and allow people to enjoy games with others. Will support IEEE 802.11 with enhanced security (WPA/WPA2). Nintendo 3DS hardware is designed so that even when not in use, it can automatically exchange data with other Nintendo 3DS systems or receive data via the Internet while in sleep mode.
Street Pass & Tag Mode
Street Pass and Tag Mode are two wireless features of the 3DS which enables one user to share information with other 3DS users automatically. Street Pass allows users to share information on games and the system regardless of what software is inside while Tag Mode works only for the specific software.
Spot Pass
Spot Pass is another wireless feature Nintendo will be incorporating onto the 3DS. Basically, when you put your 3DS in sleep mode, not only will it communicate with other 3DS units for Street Pass transfers but also with nearby Wi-Fi hotspots. Once the unit has found an access point, it will automatically download data such as data, notifications, free software and more. There is also an ability to set your presets in regards to this function.
