Wi-Fi and router-related help

[twocows]

Ok, I was wondering, I have been wanting to get on WiFi for a very long time. I used to have the USB cord connector so I can do it. But, I haven't been able to get on since I lost it. So, do you know how to get on wifi from arkansas without using the usb connector? Also, I went to walmart, I found a car charger that connects with usb to the ds. I was wondering if I could connect it to the computer and still WiFi. I just want to get on wifi on my Platinum and battle other trainers.

If you want to access WiFi, you either need a router with wireless capability or the Nintendo USB WiFi plugin for your computer. You should also be able to access WiFi in a public location, such as at a McDonalds or Starbucks. The DS should configure the access point automatically IIRC.

We have a mcdonalds but i don't know if it has WiFi connectivity. Any where else?
Mcdonalds, Walmart, Pricechopper, The Mall, and I don't know where to find a nintendo ds wifi usb connector

The USB connector was discontinued due to a lawsuit by a bunch of jerks.

I can almost guarantee McDonalds will have WiFi. Also, like I said, if you have a wireless router, you can connect to that.

WiFi USB Problems

Alright, firstly I think that this is the right forum, it's technology, right?

Anyway, I've been having some problems with my WiFi USB lately, for some reason I can'tconnect to it at all with any game.
Here's how it normally goes:

1. I fully install WiFi onto my brand new Windows Vista, Dell 1425 Inspiron Notebook
2. Vista asks me to restart, which I do
3. I grant access to my DS Lite
4. I preform a connection test, I get full 3 bars, but then, without warning it dropsdown to 0 bars.

This happens all the time, I'm wondering what's preventing the DS from gaining access, because it's getting full bars, but then I get nothing, and i'm like 5 centimeters away from the thing.
And I've got my Windows Firewall turned off, I do have McAffe, would I also need to turn that off?

Any help would be great

I have had that problem too brotlov.
I have fixed it however.

• Uninstall the program
• Download VERSION 1.7 (newest)
• Run and install

Only now mine works, maybe that will do it for yours.

I hope you guys can help me with this. My DS lite can't connect to my houses wifi when I search for an accsess point my wifi doesn't show up. My router is set to brodcast it's SSID. It is also not on nintendos list of incopatable routers. It also doesn't work if I enter my information in manualy. I don't know what is wrong and nintendo isn't good at explaining things. Please help.

Right, my problem is that this new router that my dad bought does not work with my DS.

The last router we had worked perfectly with my DS after a little tweaking, but we received this new one as a way to apparently stay with the service (Damn you AOL).

So now this router is using WPA settings whereas the DS can only use WEP as people know. As soon as I change the router to WEP settings my internet does not work at all and my DS still doesn't connect.

I'm slowly moving closer to ending up getting one of those WiFi adapter things (Not quite sure what they are tbh).

Is that my only solution?

I really want to get WiFing on Diamond and Platinum!

If you live with your parents...

Ask them what the code is. They should know.

If you don't live with your parents...

I'd try and figure out how to make a new one

It's probably listed on the router somewhere. It is most likely either a 26 character long hexadecimal string (numbers 0 - 9 and letters A - F) or a 10 digit number; look around on your router for it. If you can't find it on your router, you'll need to flash the router bios.

I have put it in when the message came up... I'm trying again right now to see if it will work for me...

EDIT: I tried again and nothing... When it came up to insert it into the usb port I put it in and it went through till the end then came up saying to put it in to the usb port when it was in there. It was in there securely and it fitted properly.

Try taking it out and putting it back in when that error comes up.

I've just tried that and nothing... D:

Do other USB devices work in that port, or at all for that matter? Have you tried using a different USB port on your computer (most computers have at least two USB ports)?

I used every single usb port on my computer.... Nintendo doesn't have a section for this so I'm thinking on sending them a e-mail sometime today.

I don't believe that device is supported by them anymore due to a lawsuit. Do other USB devices still work? Also, if you have a wireless router, you should be able to connect to that without having to route through your computer.
