how do i get WiFi on my DS?
im gonna get a nintendo DS (and pearl) soon, and im just curious, but does the WiFi come with the DS? or do i have to get it separately?
|
If you have wireless internet, like Clearwire, you can get it for free. If not, you have to go to the store and but a USB connector for it.
It won't work on Vista, yet, so if you have XP, you should be fine with the connector. |
I can't connect cos it keeps saying my SSID isn't confirmed.
Whats that mean |
me too
Me too, I want wifi really bad, Im using somthing called a D-Link. I get an access point but it keeps saying connection fail. I need help, please.

How much do the USB connectors cost?
|
The suggested price of the Nintendo USB connectors is about $35 US.
|
WASSUP
Its a fair price cause U can use it on any WIFI game, U dont have to buy one for every wifi game, U just need one.
|
why won't it work???
i currently live in a house built on wi-fi, My dad worked on the 802.11 spec, and we have in industrial capacity router, and a whole bunch of wi-fi toys (spectrum analyser, ect..), but at the end of the day, MY DS WONT WORK WITH IT. i think the problem is in the router, the DS wont connect, even with security off!! its an experemental industrial router, made by Extracom, the Israeli start up company my dad works for. it should connect to it like any other router, the Wii did, but the spectrum analyser says it keeps sending the same packet over and over again. if anyone else knows what 2 do let me know, thanks in advance,.... i guess
|
My wi-fi worked fine until a few minutes ago. It just wont light up anymore..
|
Forget about my last post, i found a lynksys that does A,B&G in my basement, and the ds works with it just fine, but the phone and microwave interfere (no big :D)
dont ya hate 2.4 gig phones? they dont share like 802.15 does. (bluetooth) |
I checked nintendowifi.com and there is nothing about this.
I've been battling a lot over the past few weeks and suddently my wi-fi connector just stops lighting up, I un-installed the regristation tool and tried to re-install it. Apparently it says 'Please put in the wi-fi USB connector' and its already in my USB port. Obviously, my internet is fine. Has anyone experienced the same problem? If so, please post solutions..I dont wanna be kicked outta my clan D: |
Can anybody help me with this?
I have a router that isn't in either the compatible or the incompatible list of Nintendo WiFi page (It's a D-Link, though). Note that it doesn't identify the IP Address by its own, I have to enter it manually. I tried and could trade normally the first day. After that, it sometimes manages to enter a few moments, then gets disconnected. Also, most of the time I test the connection it's fine. It's when I connect through Diamond. I have tried taking the FireWall away and everything, but I don't know what else to try. Can this be a router problem? Strangely, I have never had any problems at all when playing Metroid Prime Hunters. Another thing: If I buy the USB thing, will I have problems about the IP Address or the inability to connect or is it something completely apart that ALWAYS works. I don't want to waste my money. |
OK I just got my DS and I need to set up my WiFi, but I don't see any settings or anything on my DS startup screen for WiFi.
I want to use my wireless connection from my house, by the way, not hotspots or anything just yet. Thanks. Bitter. |
^I know, Pokémon should come with a WiFi guide as MPH did.
Anyway, check www.nintendowifi.com first for instructions. |
where do i go on nintendowifi.com?
EDIT: nevermind i got it set up :) thanks for the link. i navigated my way around and got the info i needed. thanks! |
Isn't my problem, but a friends.
When she connects to her router through her Wii it works fine but with her DS it doesn't work at all, any ideas? |
I had a Question that is REALLY bugging me. I keep getting "Error code # 52000 Unable to Obtain IP Address" Ive been doing research on NintendoWiFi.com, but I come up with nothing. I have NO CLUE what to do, and it really bothers me... I have Wireless router, Ive got everything I should need Im sure... Anyone help?
My Wi-Fi is working now. Haha... |
hey guys and girls, I've found a program that monitors nintendo's wifi server but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the link to it but it's called WFCStatus, it should be the first link in google if you search for it
|
Problems
Yeah I get a connection status of ok when I connected to my router but for some reason pokemon says "connection failed" I just dont get it. I have a belkin54g router and I'd love to play on the wifi stuff help plz? :)
|
Hey, I recently bought the Nintendo WiFi USB Adapter, but I can't get it to work. I was able to install it fine, with no trouble. However, whenever I have the Adapter's connection on, I can't connect to the internet. My Wii can connect to the Adapter, but my PC loses its ability to access the internet. If I turn the connection off, I can connect to the internet, but the Adapter is turned off, meaning my Wii can't connect to it at all. Can anyone help me or tell me what to do?
Comp Specs: P4 CPU 3 GHz 1 GB RAM |
There's a really weird thing that has been annoying me for a while now.
It's when I try the Wi-Fi Connection in the WFC Settings, it works perfectly. But, when I try to log in to the GTS or the Wi-Fi in general in my Pokémon Diamond, it doesn't work, although I get three bars of signal. What is this all about? Oh, some code that says (20100) appears under the "For help, check the..." text, but everything seems fine according to the Error Code shizzle at nintendowifi.com. So, what is this?! If you need more info to solve this, just ask. |
My wireless router stop working while ago the light won't com on and it says USB device not recognized onw of the USb devices attached to the computer has Malfuncition it my second router it acting like the first one I had. Also when I have a acess point with two or three signal bars and I test it connection it won't work.

|

Wi Fi issue
Does anyone use the Wi-Fi USB connector?? If so..do you have it working with Vista? Cant get mine to work.
I posted in this section because its the DS section. If im wrong for doing so. close it and ill search else were. |
|
NidoKang mate this might help you it is the Nintendo WiFi USB Connector software update which should work with Window Vista!
http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/downloads/usb/Nintendo_WFC_USB.zip Hope That Helps! |
As long as you've installed the disk it should work :)
|
The problem iv been getting is after its all installed and everything and its on the last and final step, It says to Enter the WiFi USB connector again, And its already plugged in. So i replug it in, and it says "application error" and shuts down.
|
I had the EXACT same problem with my USB. I went to future shop and bought a wireless router for 39.99. I didn't have to install any disks or anything, I just had to hook it up, which was child's play lol, and it worked straight off the bat.
You should get a wireless router they do wonders for online play, no wires needed! ^^ I use Windows XP, but the router I bought is compatable with Vista (just like all the other more expensive ones they were buying). Just buy a cheap one and it will work. It works with the wii also. |
ok
i really dont have a clue about how to set up the wierless ness on ds i dont know what a wep key is or how to get one i really dont know what i should be doing is it worth while getting a usb adaptor? if i get one will it connect me straight away or will i need to fiddle with it? please i really need loads of help... Gloomy Edit! my Wii is now connected yay!! and i can now battle online! now i need my DS on the wifi and im cool! |
my freind code doesnt work with others on wifi many people have said that it doesnt work when they try it and ive checked over it and how ive typed it has this ever happened to anyone else
|
My BIG problem that my Nintendo WiFi USB Doesnt work.
It can find the USB but when it goes to connection Test it fails and Error Code 52103 comes up, ive un-installed it and re-installed it with McAffe Fire wall or the hole McAffe it self off or even keep it on, and it was working fine couple days ago only now it stars to go like this, yes ive had this problem before but now ive had it for 3-4 days non stop, and i really want to trade Pokemon so what can I do. If anyone can help me out I will be greatfull and friends forever hehe Cheers |
Ughhhhh
Well my Wifi USB connector has been fine ever since ive had it (since August). However The past week when ive wanted to battle/trade, it lets me get onto the place where you accept or invite battles and trades, but when either me or my battle/trade partner wants to accept/invite it just disconnects me or them. Its strange because it lets me do trades on the GTS.
Do you think i should buy another one ? And Id appreciate if someone could shed some light onto this. |
If it says: A Communication error as occured
Remove all cell phones/mobiles and make sure the microwave isn't on. They scrable siganls. It helped me! :D |
Quote:
Its been working fine until this last week, its might just be that my USB has just had enough. Whats strange though is that it lets me on the GTS and trade =S. So I havent got a clue X[. |
Hmm, maybe your internet connection isn't strong enough to battle? I don't know for that sure. Sorry :(
|
If you looked at the stuck threads you would have seen the Wi-Fi and router-related help thread, where this should have been posted.

I have a weird problem.
I tried connecting to Nintendo Wi-Fi connection (on the opening menu where it says new game/continue/etc.) and it gave me an error code, so I went to nintendowifi.com and it said that my router model is not compatible with nintendo WFC. The weird thing is that when I chose "search for an access point", my router shows up with a blue unlocked icon. If it was incompatible, shouldn't it be a gray locked icon? Does this mean that there is no way whatsoever to connect to Nintendo WFC using my wi-fi router? And why does the router show up as a blue unlocked icon if it is incompatible? Since my router doesn't work, how can I connect to wi-fi? |
I'm having trouble with my USB WiFi Connector. It's been installed before, and it ran for my Wii perfectly, without problems. It was unplugged and went unused for a while. The computer went virtually unchanged while I didn't use WiFi for a week or so, but it didn't work again. Here's what happened:
If it helps, I'm trying to connect it to my Wii (which it HAS been connected to before). I am also using a Vista, and have gotten the download that allows the USB Connector to work with Vista. I think the most likely problem is that I'm saving the Vista download in the wrong place, because when I click "Save", it opens directly to "My Documents", which doesn't seem right. Please, if anyone knows how to get the Registration Tool to appear, let me know; I'm desperate to get my WiFi working again. *is attacked by boredom* |

EDIT: Okay. Now that I tried the Vista setup for the USB Connector, it fully loaded, but at the end it says "Internet Sharing Error", and fails to download. Does anyone know what this is about? |
question
im not sure if this is the rite place but where can you buy the usb cord so you can plug it into your comp n use the net ???
|
do u mean a nintendo USb connetor
|
uhhh yea that would be it
|
ok then i dont know if there selling it anymore cause im looking for it to and no luck and u may find it at wal-marrt,target,circet city and bestbuy but i heard that they stop makeing it in my city but u proble still have a chance to find it
|
ok thank u very much filllerrr
|
ok your welcome ......hope u find it
|
Nintendo has stopped production of the Nintendo WiFi USB Adapter, so I doubt you'll find one very easily.
You may be able to find one at Amazon or on eBay. |
Wait... wtf? Do you mean those little USB adapters about 3 inches long that, when plugged into the USB port on your computer, enable wi-fi use with the DS and Wii? I just bought one at Wal-Mart. I'd say... 2 weeks ago? Mind you, I live in Canada, so maybe that has something to do with it.
|
Good luck finding one. Nintendo has stopped making them, and they've been pulled from the shelves.
When you find one, go here to download the latest software for it, so it'll keep working. |
Whats the meaning getting Nintendo Wi-fi USB Connector just use a cheap Wi-Fi USB it will work just as fine as the Nintendo one depending on Gigaherhtz and Wireless,Wi-Fi b,Wi-Fi n,Wi-Fi g .Example a 24.Ghz.This little device will work for you Wii,DS and everything that as Wi-Fi.If you just want one just because is build by Nintendo Good Luck finding one.

Wi-Fi Help Please!!
I hope this is the right place for this.
I started having trouble last nite with it, so this morning I tried to log in and at 1st it told me no access in range, then I fiddled withit a bit, and it would show my wi-fi icon popping up that I was logging in but not on my ds screen, so I went in and un-installed it so that I could re-install it, well now it is giving the message when downloading "internet connection sharing error (5)" I have done nothing different and this problem just started yesterday, any help REALLY appreciated!! |
Quote:
|
Oh i am sorry to hear this. The above posters reply should really help. Also if the problem persists. When you start D/P go to Wi-Fi settings and try deleting your current saved connection. You can re-set the connestion. I hope that will work.
:16: |
yep. and also make sure that everything is inputted correctly, because if one letter isn't CAPS or whatever then that can also screw it up.
you might also wan't to check if the router is blocking any outside connections. |
Ok I tried what the 2nd poster said and for some reason it tells me that i can't enable the ICS, so I called my tech guy and he says a file has gotten deleted. How can a file just disappear? Anyways to the shop it goes on Monday. Thanks for the help!!

They are touchy if I close my laptop and it goes to sleep with the wifi dongle in and active then when i wake it up it does not work, i have to restart my laptop. I still can not get the wifi adapter to work with my desk top. It worked once or twice then never again. But it works great on my laptop. |

Is there a way to get Wi-Fi w/out USB?
I have Pearl, and I'm dying to get Wi-Fi connection. I asked my dad to look into a USB connecter, and he told me they cost up to 200 dollars, so it's out of the question. Where is it possible for me to get free Wi-Fi connection?
|
Usually local Libraries have wireless though you may experience slower connection due to the many people using it. You could, If you have Cable or DSL internet, get a regular wireless router and hook that into your hub. that would allow you to access the WiFi functions of your DS and in the future if anyone in you family gets a laptop they can use it for access to the internet.
|
the Nintendo usb's should only cost around $60, don't know where your dad saw up to $200, though most places in a shopping mall have wireless networks for people to use
|
I think your dad is just lying to you. Call his bluff. Also, there's a thread already for these sorts of questions, so ...
merged |
I'm having trouble with my Wi-Fi USB Connector, It will let me connect to the GTS but it will not let me connect to the Trade station in the 3rd floor of the Pokemon Center.
|
And pay, like, 150 bucks for the box??
|
Add your ip address to your Ds.
It should connect to your router if the Ip isn't being used on any of your computers. |
Quote:
|
Ok, I'm usually a total computer geek (own Photoshop and 3d program), but what's an IP address, and how do I connect my DS to it?
|
Quote:
Haha... Load up you D/P on your ds. Now where it says the options "Continue,New Game,Mystery Gift,Migrate from ____ and then it should say "Nintendo WFC Settings".. Press A on that. Follow the prompts. |
Quote:
Of course, you need a Wireless router if you want to get online. Make sure you have one first. |
I don't. But if I already have internet, and get a wireless router, does it just take the internet I already have, and then make it wireless?
|
Quote:
If your home network is set up similarly to mine (a number of computers connected to a single router, and you have your own personal computer), you can buy a small wireless router, connect your PC to it, and connect the new router to your current (wired) router. This way, it doesn't require a large amount of messing with your network, and it gets your DS online (I think). |
If my router works with my computer but not my DS is there anyway to share wi-fi?
|
You have to go to the router settings and set it up so the DS is on allowed. You put in the address of the router in your browser… I think it's under the router or somewhere, I'm not really sure where because my brother does that stuff. ._.'
|
It's an unsecured connection

WiFi Troubles
Well, I just recently got a PCI card put into my computer. The Internet is of a much better quality, but it seems to have messed up my WiFi.
I have the Nintendo USB Connector, but it is not responding. Usually there would be a little green light flashing on it, but that has stopped. And when I try to connect to WiFi, it asks me to install the Connector that is already installed. :frustrated: Also note that I happen to have 2 Connectors. The above happened to the first, which led me to start using the second. Now neither are working.... Can anyone provide some assistance on this matter. I'd really like to get back to battling soon.... |
Moved to the Technology forum.
|
Wi-Fi doesnt work on linux for my computer
|
THIS IS ANNOYING. My wifi ,when i try to battle/trade someone on wifi, gets a communication error right after it says "---- contacted you" and goes to the communicating...please standby area. I already tried re-setting my connection. HEEELLLLP!
