Wi-Fi and router-related help

You could always try third party software for the USB connector. I'll give you a link if you're willing to try.

Yes, you do. Try going to the link that is displayed on the sticker of your wireless router. Login and you should be able to find your WEP key that way.

I don't believe that device is supported by them anymore due to a lawsuit. Do other USB devices still work? Also, if you have a wireless router, you should be able to connect to that without having to route through your computer.

Yes other USB devices still work... And I don't have a wireless router unfortunately...

That would be great thanks.

For some reason, the Nintendo wifi USB is a strange one.
It works when I FIRST install it, but when I turn off my computer, or restart it, it dies.
The only way to make it work again, I have to uninstall and install again.

How annoying.

I am having some problems,
i have wireless internet (but not with this computer)
and it has a password on it and its security is WEP-AESK
or something like that, and i can connect my ps3, wii, laptop and pretty much everything.
except, my DS. as it only supports WEP.
Is there anyway to have wifi on my DS without changing the password security?
as WEP is too basic and unreliable.

P.S i know the password so relax, i am not hacking. ;)

 

[Captain Fabio]

@Solebro: I don't think there is any way around it :/
Unless you get a Wifi pen with no encryption.

Or if someone knows another way...
Hope you can solve it.

Sorry. Nintendo demonstrated a complete lack of foresight when deciding what encryption protocol to support; even when they made the DS, problems were already cropping up with WEP, and yet they refused to support superior encryption methods like WPA. You're out of luck, I'm afraid.

 

[donavannj]

Unless Nintendo offers to flash the BIOS of all DS systems to support it. Which will probably never happen.

 

[Zakarii]

I have a problem. Since the DS isn't compatible with WPA security, I want to change it to WEP. Problem is, I don't know how. I tried going on Nintendo's Wifi Support thingy but my Router wasn't listed there. It's a SMC SMC8014W-G router. Can someone please help??

Oh, and don't post replys to this telling me that WEP is retarded or whatever, I know they security isn't as good as WPA, I just want to change it.

Nintendo Wi-fi

Alright, I recently upgraded my internet, but it's unfortunately non-WEP. I've attempted to contact Nintendo, only to be met with "You have reached us outside of our operating hours." What I need to know is if I have to use WEP for Nintendo wifi. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

[nohakman]

i dont believe you need WEP to connect.
If WEP is just a password you dont

 

[.Seth]

Well, if you don't want anyone mooching off of your internet connection, you're fine without WEP.
But, if you have the installation disc that came with the router, use that and set a good password.

 

[twocows]

You have to use WEP or have an unencrypted connection to use Nintendo WiFi, as far as I know.

 

[~RNC~]

Ok, I hope I'm posting this in the right section.
I have windows xp, I had the wifi disc downloaded and it was working fine, well I got a laptop and left this desktop, some how it got deleted off, but any ways, when I go to download it again, I get the message "internet connection sharing error .6.
Any help please??

YOUR firewall? Try turning off the firewall of the PC that administrates the router.

 

[alienXL]

Erm...

I know this might seem a bit simple and stupid but take the power out of your router and then start it up again.

If not on the router settings (which should be under 192.168.0.1 in your web browser on a computer on the network.) check that your DS is a registered device on the network otherwise there might be some security conflicts that could be blocking incoming connections.

Other than that cant think of anything... never had this problem. Sorry
