OK, so my wifi conection is perfect, whenever i try to trade, it ususally discconetes me 3-5 times until the trade goes through, but my connection has the 4 green bars(perfect connection)
today, it kept dissconnecting me and it wouldnt even let me battle, any advice on how to fix this? |
Wireless
So in Diamond/Pearl when you get to the continue/new screen screen the game searches for a wireless link, (the power light blinks) allowing it to link with the Wii. My Platinum doesn't do that. Is my game messed up???
|
This best belongs in Comp & Tech section.
-MOVED- |
This has nothing to do with computers so I'm not sure how helpful I can be, but it maintains the same compatibility and method of connecting as DP so it should do the same thing that your Diamond/Pearl game did.
|
Okay I have a question. Is a modem and Wired Router the same thing? Also if I hook the Wii up to a wired router will the DS be able to get on wifi through the Wii?
|
Yes, this belongs in Diamond/Pearl. Do you have to get to a certain point before you are able to connect to Wii?
|
My computer connects to the internet with a wireless network, but my DS won't pick up the network, how can I fix that?

Hey, I have a question about wifi.
I have a wireless router (d-link, and it's compatible with wi-fi), but I don't have a WEP key (I have some other thing, I think it was WAP or WPR, or something like that...) How do you change it to a WEP key? Also, keep in mind, there are 3 computers that use the wireless router for internet: my laptop, my sister's laptop (both are Windows Vista) and my Uncle's laptop (windows XP ) |
need help with hotspots
i couldn't find a wifi help thread =/
I can't find a hotspot compatible with the DS. Since the USB connector is discontinued i don't know what to do in terms of getting online w/o getting wifi. Is there any list of hotspots that work with the DS? |
when u turn on ur game, click wifi settings, then add wireless server.
|
i know who to set up a connection, but when i test it the game says it can't connect.
weirdly using two different DS's i was getting two different error codes. |
Do you even have a wireless router/USB? If you don't your DS can't connect to Wi Fi.
|
.....g p onto nintendo's website ( I don't want to get in trouble by posting the site. just add a .com @ the end) and go to support. enter your error code, and it will tell you whats wrong. to be honest, im supriesd a mod hasnt moved this yet....
|
Yeah!
When my wi-fi is down, and i have a trade, i always go to a coffee shop. almost all of the major shops will have free wi-fi.
|
i've gone to free wifi places, and my ds won't connect when i test the connection.
it works when i'm using my friends wifi, just not at any free wifi place. |
i have platinum and i have a WPA key and it needs a WEP key anybody knows how to help me connect

Tech discussion is the place for this, I think.

I can't get wifi! AT A LIBRARY!
ONe connection says it can't get an SSID or something, and the other just won't connect...any tips? |
If you're talking about DS, it won't work. If you're talking about a laptop, well, you need the password.

My Adventure to Get a Friend Code
I posted this here because I basically had an adventure and lesson in technology today to get a friend code so I can soon start trading and battling on Platinum.
I use to with Diamond and Pearl a long time ago be able to connect as my router used only a WEP key. My father, a network security expert, suggested I move my security setting to WPA. Which is great and wonderful, except I could not connect to Wi-Fi. Some research got me to find a way around it using a Nintendo Wi-Fi USB adapter. Searching my local gamestop I get the expertise of teenage workers telling me that Nintendo discontinued their sale of it. Sure enough they were correct as I searched the Nintendo site they were discontinued. A suggestion on the site says you use your own router. Great and wonderful except I want to keep my security thank you, but still want to trade and battle. Commited to find a solution I just did a google search of "Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Adapter". Found that Gamestop.com had an old page, that let's you search for it used for $20. I have it today. But a drawback... I have to knockdown my firewall in order to go on Wi-Fi. So I am going to just continue my offline quest until I get my 8 badges. Then play with the trading and battling later! What a day, but I now have a friend code and can get on to wi-fi! |
WPA is a far better standard, but WEP is sufficient for most situations. I say this from experience; in most instances, I can crack a WEP-encrypted router in a few hours. WPA takes far longer to crack, and in most instances, it's just not worth it.
However, it's better to have at least some security on your router than none (unless you're Mrs. Roberts or her daughter and plan on playing games with people). Don't disable your security altogether if it comes to that, just revert it to WEP. In my experience, firewalls and router security serve two different purposes. Firewalls serve to alert you of malicious outgoing connections (trojans trying to send out information, viruses looking for updates), and router security serves to protect your internet from the jerk next door who's trying to leech off you. If you're a savvy computer user, the firewall is optional, but letting your neighbor leech your internet is annoying no matter who you are. Taking your firewall down is the better option, just make sure you ramp up your other security measures (get a good antivirus, use Firefox with ABP or another browser with Privoxy, and don't go to suspicious sites). |
Why not just set up WEP on your router?
