The reason it could not connect to the library's wifi was because it required a sign-in. I'm assuming Hy-Vee's wifi also required a sign-in. I got a 3DS on launch and now that the web browser is available, I can sign in.

If a DS can't connect to a wifi spot, there's a good chance the 3ds CAN. AND, the 3DS supports WAY more security types. It also has a greater wifi/wireless range.

The DS cannot connect with all Wi-Fi spots, my cousin has a wireless connection and he cant connect his ds with it, so it may be the same problem.
