Wi Fi Problems
 
I think this goes here, but any who. Think you can help? We just renewed our Internet Security-Firewall-Virus decter thing, and I haven't tried to go on wi-fi since then, but now that I want to I can't, even when I turn the firewall off like I used to when I wanted to connect it won't let me. I went into wifi settings on my DS and did a scan for my nintendo wifi usb stick and the pc just ignored me, any ideas on what I should do?

reinstall the usb software for a start, your new firewall may not trust it. Most FWs give you the option of trusting a piece of software when you install it, so you can make it a trusted program and hopefully a working one.

Do i need Router to make Ds WI-fi

Jaydin Knight September 21st, 2008 7:44 AM

My dad put up a higher security than the DS will support and he refuses to take it down. Is there a way for me to use Wi-Fi at my house anyway without taking down the security?

No you do not need a regular router to use Wi-Fi if you buy the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector. However it has been discontinued because the manufacture of the technology was successfully sued by CSIRO.

My question is it possible to change the frequency that a router operates on so it dosen't confict with cordless phones without having to buy new phones. This is the main reason I don't own a wireless router.

You should ask this in the Technology section. They'll end up with better answers than we will most of the time.

when i try to search for an access point. an error came out and says(the access point,s security settings are not Supported by the Nintendo DS) can someone help me??

Apple Inc. September 22nd, 2008 4:32 PM

Well is there any sort of Data encryption which requires you to type in a pin to access the network? That may be what's causing your problems.

Crissy September 27th, 2008 10:46 AM

Help please.
 
How do I log on to WiFi to get my friend code, note that I have never used WiFi before xD

Sweet Speed September 27th, 2008 10:51 AM

Hey welcome to Pokecommunity. sorry but you posted this in the wrong place, If you want and help with your Hardware just post it in this thread.

I'm not sure how to help you, have you connected you wirless internet properly and is your router working?

usually you when you first go into the downstairs of the Pokecenter, you will be given a pal pad for you friend codes however it's not until you actually go into the room and access wifi that you get your number. It should be a straight-forward process, being automatic in the pairing of the game with the DS and then accessing wifi. If you have a WEP password protecting your wireless router then you will have to set that up within your DS settings. (usually it's the third option when you go to continue your game, having the 'little DS with signal bars above' symbol)

as far as I know it only works with windows, however I just plugged it into m mac and in the system profiler is knows that its a Nintendo WiFi connector. whether or not I can connect with it, idk I use my regular router most of the time. (the software on the disc is windows, I know that though)

What do you mean wrong IP address? I think IP addresses are supposed to change (not sure about the router ones though.) Wouldn't a wrong IP address only mess up your Wi-Fi if you set it up manually? I didn't need to setup anything except plug the plug the router in. If you setup the settings manually, try setting up your connection automatically. As in, let the computer find the IP address.

so whens it gonna be possible to get the usb dongle to work on vista? i tried it the other day with no success, but i did get just as far as i did when i tried it on my pc with xp.

Gerri Shin October 17th, 2008 7:54 AM

It should have worked on XP, no problem, all you have to do is go to Nintendo and get the updated software for Vista (here)

LipstickTraces October 17th, 2008 10:41 AM

will this work with any wifi dongle? because i dont have the nintendo one but i do have a wifi dongle which i got off the internet? so far it isnt letting me install the software, it keeps trying to find the nintendo ds dongle.

or do i need a different software for it?

Klippy October 17th, 2008 5:23 PM

Blehhh, I hate asking for help, but I am completely baffled by this stupid iPod Touch. XD;

Okay, so...basically, I really want to get onto the Wi-Fi stuff and access PC, MSN, Myspace, etc. on my iPod Touch. The problem is that the networks available for me to use are all password encrypted. Now, I can't even tell if whatever this network is...is actually mine. But, it requires a password and I've been trying to figure out what it was for quite some time.

We never put a password onto the network or anything on the router, so...I've got no idea what to do for this. ;;

The only information I've been able to find is that I need a...WEP password or encryption key. D: I appreciate the help, so any and all help as to how to get my WEP password/encryption key, or whatever, will make me happy. :D

Do you have administration access to the router, Klippy?

Or do you know the ssid? You can view available networks by accessing Settings - General - Network - Wifi.

Your not really going to figure out the WEP Passkey unless your sniffing packets. But I doubt your doing that, so, figure out the ssid and the administration credentials if you own the network. If not, and your just using someone else's network, I would probably suggest speaking with the administration to obtain the passkey.

If your network is hidden, obviously its not going to show up. You can always configure it yourself manually by selecting Other and entering your network credentials.

I should have admin. access. I don't see why I wouldn't, since it's my router and I set it up, etc. etc.

And..SSID? D: Never heard of that. Aaand, I have two available networks, hpsetup, which doesn't work, since it's for a printer. And OB2C6, which I believe could be mine. >:
