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. >:

Happen to know the manufacturer/model? Depending on the router, the administration url can differ.

Wifi won't work
 
I know this isn't really about DP but I had no idea where to post this.

So I was on Pearl last night and was about to use the GTS trading glitch to evolve my electabuzz but the message came up saying that the DS could not connect to any access points.(recently got new router and hadn't set up the DS for it)

The DS found the access point and I entered the WEP code but it came up with error 51300 and wouldn't connect.
The WEP code is definitely correct because my Wii, my brother's PSP and the 2 PCs and 2 laptops in my house have the exact same settings and can connect to the internet without any problems.

Also, I tried turning off the WEP code on the router and the DS wifi worked fine, but this stopped everything else from connecting to the router and I want to keep the WEP code for security reasons.

Anyone know how I could possibly fix this?

Hey,

This is in the wrong place,mate =]
It should be in the Offtopic/Computer section. Located as a sub-forum at the bottom board.

I'll move this off to the right place for you.

Oh, thanks guys, I didn't know there was a section for computer stuff.

Chibi-chan October 27th, 2008 1:12 PM

I'll take this even further and move it to the Wifi help thread XD
Look around in that thread though, you might find your answer in another question.

My USB nintendo connector wont work. I have spoken to Nintendo about it, they tell me it's a setting on my computer that wont let the device connect to the internet (I did read the first post, but I'm asking about the windows settings not the wi-fi connector).

I'm pretty sure it's a firewall setting, but I've tried fiddling about with it and still the thing wont connect - the same thing happens to my standard wireless router. What am I missing? Any ideas?

can someone please help me with wifi?
 
I'm new to the forums, and I am having trouble with wifi. I can find a connection, but no matter what I do, my DS can't seem to find an access point. I'm afraid that if I uninstall it, I will lose my Mesprit that is in my GTS. Can someone please help me?

Zebra Thunderhead October 29th, 2008 2:54 PM

This doesn't belong here; it belongs in the Tech Help Section.

If you can't even access Wi-Fi with your DS, which means no GTS, then you can still lose your Mespirit. Have you tried getting closer to your router? Change the channel to 11 or 1? (You can do that by going into your router's control panel. Mine is accessed by going to its IP adress. You can find yours at http://www.ip-adress.com/).

By the way, what is the brand of the router. And just one more question: did you just get it or has this router worked with your DS before?

lumbeelover13 October 29th, 2008 4:13 PM

it worked earlier, its a usb connector. i get right in front of it, but it just wont work. I don't think i can change the channel on it.

Chibi-chan October 29th, 2008 4:16 PM

This is better fit for the WiFi troubles thread.
If you look at past questions, you may find your answer as well.

USB connector... is that the Nintendo one or something you plug into your computer so your COMPUTER can access Wi-Fi?

If...

It's the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector, then I'd just uninstall it and then re-install it. I don't have one, but I'm guessing that it came with some software. Uninstall that and re-install it. Tell me what happens.

It's a USB connector so your computer can access the Internet, then well that doesn't do anything for your DS. You need to connect to a router, not a USB adapter.

lumbeelover13 October 29th, 2008 4:46 PM

let me be more definitive, it by nintendo for the ds to connect to wifi. it worked fine earlier, thats how i got my mesprit in the GTS. it worked perfectly, but now it wont connect to the access point, so I'm afraid that I will lose my mesprit.

So did the Nintendo adapter come with its own software? Try uninstalling it and then reinstalling it.

Okit seems as if I'm having the same problems as alot of people.
I have been reading and I haven't gotten any real answers to my problem or how to fix it.
Ok my last usb connector burnt up, so I bought another, it was working fine and then about a week ago it stop for no reason.
I uninstalled the hardware and then tried to re-install, that's where I'm having trouble, it won't re-install it at all, it loads up to the point where it tells me to connect the adapter and then nothing else happens.
Any idea why it is doing this??
Thanks

Questions about using Wi-fi
 
I'm a new user to wi-fi and I was wondering about the idea of meeting certain people online at certain times. Do both people have to be online at the same time, or can they trade freely with the other person disconnected? I don't have wireless at home, I can only use it at school(and I can't go to the trade threads here at school to contact other people, cuz they blocked pokemoncommunity.com(thanks to me, no doubt:()). So, I was wondering about the idea of trading on wi/fi at lunch at one of these trade threads. Can I schedule to meet with someone at a certain time? Any help would be appreciated.

Should've been in the Q&A Thread, I think, but anyways... Both people do have to be online at the same time, it's not like the GTS, unfortunately. That would be pretty cool, though. I'd advise just saying what times you're able to trade (include time zone, for instance, mine being PST), and hope for the best.

Zebra Thunderhead November 9th, 2008 3:54 PM

We have a thread designed specifically for Wi-Fi, in the Computer Discussion Forum. So I'll move that there for you. (:

If your trading with GTS, No. You can simply upload your Pocket Monster/Pokémon to the server and specify what you would like in return.

Trading w/ Friend Codes, Yes.

However, this is some-what off-topic to actual Wifi Help. It's relevant but on the other hand it more or less relates to Pokemon Wifi GTS Help, not Wifi & Router Help. Either way though, your question is answered.

Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Troubles
 
Well, I've been trying to install my Nintendo USB Device onto my Windows Vista Laptop. I've been using installation Version 1.06, and it always comes as a Compressed File. When I extract it, it refuses to extract the following files:

Nintendo_WFC_USB (0 bytes)

NintendoWFCReg (0 bytes)
MDRIVER (0 bytes)
SoftAP (0 bytes)
U2G5 (0 bytes)
WinVista (0 bytes)
WinXp (0 bytes)
Win2000 (0 bytes)
WinVista (0 bytes)

Then, when I try to install it, it works out for the most part EXCEPT for the last few seconds, where an error notice goes up saying something like "Application Error (6)"

We had the Nintendo Wi-Fi on our computer previously, and it worked once, and it did until it asked for a password on one occasion. I didn't know it (I wasn't an Admin account on this computer at the time) so I asked my Dad to do it. The problem for him was he couldn't read what it was asking, so he cancelled it. It never worked since then. I uninstalled it, and then tryed to re-install it ever since. It hasn't worked obviously.

Could anyone please tell me what is going wrong?

Zet November 15th, 2008 11:53 PM

your problem is that everything is 0 bytes, here's a working download place, though it says wii, it works both for the DS and Wii

Mr. Epic November 16th, 2008 5:52 AM

Does anyone here know how to install the Datel Wifi Max on Windows XP SP3 properly so that it actually works?

Zet November 16th, 2008 6:02 AM

have you tried contacting Datel about it?

Mr. Epic November 16th, 2008 2:52 PM

It has always been a pain on previous computers, but with the help of Google I managed some how. There are so many different guides that only have one thing in common that is they all say don't get it :(
Now that I have SP3 on this new PC I looked on the official help site and they have new tutorials for SP3 but the PDF files seem Corrupt!
