If you can use the eShop, I have no clue.

My first guess would be that you have a brand-spanking-new router operating on the 5GHz band, whereas the DSi only supports 2.4GHz, but if your Phat can connect, then that isn't it.

last week it worked fine on this router and its on 2.4GHz band. it stoped working a day after i got my r4i 3ds gold(r4ids.cn) from v2watch when i traded some pokemon from pokemon white(on the r4i) to my retail copy of pokemon black.

also if i do an advanced search my AP and my neighbors shows up and if i add mine there everything connects and the test is good, but in game i can't get online

Hm... the reason games can't connect to networks defined in Advanced Mode (except retail Black/White/2! They should work with Advanced Mode networks) is because they can only see the regular 3 networks, the number the standard DS can see.

However, both modes see the same networks, the regular ones just can't connect to WPA/2 networks. If regular mode isn't finding anything, then I have no clue. Not even a broken Wi-Fi chip should cause that.

So is it with WEP encryption (DS game cannot use WPA/WPA2). Did you broadcast SSID as well? Some DS games won't work even when you type in the SSID.
