3DS doesn't connect to wifi while phone is connected at the same time

[Marselu]

So I've had this problem for a while with my 3ds and it has been quite annoying recently. Every time I want to connect my 3DS to my internet, to play online etc, I have to disable the wifi from my phone or else it simply won't connect.
Is this a known issue? If so how can I fix it? I also manually input the ip address and gateway in the 3ds internet settings because it won't get them automatically if that has anything to do with it.

Do they have the same IP?

Yes, they do. To input the ip in the 3DS I just copy the one from the phone

If you want to use both of them online at the same time, they can't have the same ip.

I see, but every time I put the 3ds to get the ip automatically it gives me the error 003-1101. What can I do to fix this? Or where can I get an ip address just for the 3ds if that doesn't work?

You need a second static ip if you were using static ip. Your other option is to use dhcp.

What device distributes wifi? Is this device under your control? Is DHCP address distribution enabled there?

Yes, the wifi is distributed by a router in my house. I'm not familiar with that setting, but I tried going into my router settings in a browser and there was no setting included to activate DHCP access distribution.

just configure the ds to use a static ip and set an ip in the same range thats not currently in use in your network. if your router is 192.168.0.1 use 192.168.0.78 on the ds for example. if it doesn't work change the .78 to .79 and try again... just keep incrementing the last number until it works.

I assume that NAT (Native Address Translation) mode is used?
So you have to learn how to manage your router.
At least to understand what in its settings prevents you from using a different address(es) and still have access to the Internet.
(I hope you enter the other details (on client side (in your 3ds)) correctly: subnet mask, gateway address, dns-address(es). This refers to the option of operating a network without DHCP.)
Or find a way to configure DHCP.

I was looking through the router's brand site and it says to configure the router to DHCP I have to change one of the settings to dynamic ip, could that be it? Right now that setting is in PPPoE.

I see, but for the rest of the settings (gateway, dns) can I just copy the ones that appear on my phone?

No, it's completely different parts of settings.
PPPoE is for your WAN, it's how your router is connecting to your provider. Better not to touch it if it's working.
You need LAN settings.

Check under internet tab, if it under PPPoE, try to put it under auto see if it pickup the ISP public IP that they gave you.

I FOUND THE DHCP SETTING. It was already checked tho.

It is necessary to determine whether NAT is used at all.
The ip address that you enter into the phone or into 3ds looks more like:
192.168.0.123
10.0.0.3
181.191.32.14
?

Are you saying to put the 3ds internet settings to auto? If so I already tried that, that's when it gives me the 003-1101 error.

Looks more like the first one (192.168.0.123)

No on your router, you have the options to pick what connection type just put it on auto, you don't need PPPOE unless you have a point to point.

So it's NAT, this is good, it could be worse.

PPPoE is very possible. Many providers (even some pretty big ones) are still building their crazy networks on this

There's no option to put in auto, just PPPoE, dynamic ip, static ip or L2TP.

Marselu, can you name the model of your router or give a link to the user manual for it?
