Anyway, you should be able to configure an exception in your firewall so that you can still connect to Nitendo WFC. Have you checked the firewall settings out? |
Ah, I have a big DS wifi problem. Hope you guys can help me out.. and moreso, that I'm in the right section! Okay, here goes:
I use WPA type, so obviously when I try to use it on DS nothing will work.. so once I changed it to WEP, okay.. for some reason on my computer on the connections, when you enter your network key WEP doesn't appear as a type, so it won't work like that; but on the DS it works then. So basically I have an offline computer but online DS. Its extremely hard to switch hard back and forth (time consuming!), and just for wifi on DS wouldn't be worth it, especially considering it puts my computer and my parents' computer online during the wifi. Is there any known solution, like.. I don't know, a way to set up a second connection, or get my computer to accept WEP? Is that possible, even? I have a netgear router if that helps. Any suggestions, tips, or advice is appreciated! |
I need to find an inexspensive Wi-Fi Router that is Compatable with Wii, Laptops(PC), and DS.
My First one(Now broken) Worked with Wii and DS, but not Laptops. I had a thread thread then (Points to signature) The Second and Current one works with Wii and Laptops, but not my DS. This puts a hamper on my desire to reopen my trade thread. A link to Ebay or Amazon would do, whetehr via PM or Post. |
To be honest, I know almost nothing about computers. I'm not even sure if this question belongs here, but...
I'm having a little problem with my internet connection. I can get on the internet just fine, but I can't upload any videos or large pictures to the web. I had to save my signature in a .jpg format just so I coud get it on photobucket. This problem started towards the end of August last year. Can anyone tell me what's wrong? |
your first step is restart everything: modem > router > pc (power back up in that order)
then if you still can't upload, call your ISP's support line to make sure its not there service.. if its not, then you'll need to start on troubleshooting it from your machine.. so post back if you need to dig deeper (after the above is tried) |
Thanks a lot! C:
I'll give this a try asap. Restarting the modem sounds a little complicated so I better ask my brother for help. |
Can a Nintendo Wi-FI USB Connector for the DS Lite be used for the DS? Thanks.

How do I set up WiFi for my DS?
Im sorry if there is a thread allready for this, is so can you post the link? I dont have an ariel (However you spell is XD). IS that a problem Cheers... |
Okay, so, me and my friend are both trying to battle each other in Platinum. Whenever we make any kind of communication to each other, ie. Trades, Battles, Voice Chat w/e, whoever goes up to the person who hosts always conks out with a 86420 error. I checked the main Nintendo support, they say stuff about firewalls, although MY internet works fine with diamond and my flash cart platinum against other friends. And my friend has turned off his firewall so that's out of the question. Nintendo has crap explanations and I really don't want to ring them.
Halp, plz? |
Okay, I just bought a new Desktop, Gateway LX6810. It came with NO wi-fi, so I also bought the Linksys Compact Wireless-G USB adapter to solve that. After installing it, it found my router. When I clicked Internet Explorer, the Internet was SLOW. Even for a first run, no ordinary webpage should take that long. I also tried many other popular websites, which loaded VERY slowly or not at all. I was thinking it was the USB adapter, and was thinking whether or not to return it and get a better one.
And yeah, I placed my laptop in the same place and got very fast connection. :\ |
most likely the usb wifi.. get an proper one.. internal card one.. or just use a cat5 cable between PC and router (best).

I'm the friend in this post..

Probably here somebody can help me. I have a annoying problem with my WLAN connection.
How should i explain it? Easily: My WLAN connection seems to be not that stable and has sporadic interruptions. There are no signs before that interruption happens, browsing is fast etc.. I can fix every time this problem with simply "Repair" function (restart WLAN connection), though, its annoying. What to do? |
Wi-Fi and router-related help
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.

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 |
Quote:
I can almost guarantee McDonalds will have WiFi. Also, like I said, if you have a wireless router, you can connect to that. |
Ok, thanks for the help.
MY MESSAGE WAS TO SHORT!! <i put this on because my message was....you get the point |
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.
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! |
