Tutorial [HOW-TO] Have a homemade Streetpass Relay

RapierDragon · Dec 29, 2013

I've been using the simple manual "clone MAC" method and I'm loving it so far. I easily get 6 hits every time.

So far though I can only max-out the number of mii at my gate at 9 of 10 (I get 6 from one mac, then 3 more from a second mac, and then until I great them it won't accept more, even if I go to a third mac)

I don't understand why it shows in the notification screen on the 3ds that it can have up to 10 mii.

I have thankfully been able to use that trick where I great the 9 waiting mii at the gate, then can store 9 more at the gate (giving me 9 to play, then 9 more when the first 9 are done... which is a total of 18). If I want 10th mii in a game (like mii force) I have to spend play-coins.

The only problem I've had with manually cloning mac's is that my DIR-615 often will time-out after I click apply-changes. Any futher attempt to load the page or its main-page-site (168.198.1.1) will fail to load and just sit on loading until it times out. Oddly though, if I go into the winXP start > connect-to > show all connections, then click properties on my LAN, and click configure next to the device, if I change the MAC there it doesn't seem to affect either my notebook's lan/ethernet port or the dir-615, but then *BAM*, the DIR-615's dd-wrt pages will start working again. (if I set the lan/ethernet port to a mac I never visit, then the problem will seem vanish entirely for several hours.)

Now if I can just figure out a way to trigger the clone-mac command without having to connect the DIR-615 to my notebook via a lan/ethernet cat-5 cable. I dunno, maybe set it to do random mac changes when I hit the side reset-button or something. Those dd-wrt commands are gonna take me some time to get a grasp on.

p.s.

drop me a note with your MAC if you need Street Fighter 4 street/home pass hits. I do get the odd one but its not like we've set up a specific mac for SF4, cause it's hardly needed.

How do I know what list of games that I have Streetpass active for? I know there's a limit to how many are active at once.

The limit is 12 but there is a limit of how many you can collect for each game which varies. You can check which game you have street pass on in your settings ----> Data management ----> Streetpass Management I want to note however if you go into Streetpass Management on system Nand you will only see streetpasses for retail games you have. If you are playing roms and activate streetpass and want to view them you have to go into settings while you are in Gateway mode or else they will not show. Warning if you go into settings in Gateway mode it will kick you back into System Nand so remember to go back into Gateway made if you are checking so you don't accidentally do something on your System Nand.

Oops. Was that the only mistake? *tries it*

Update:
Hmm, so I can connect to Nintendo Zone just fine, I'm just not picking up any streetpasses.

Update 2:

Now I'm even further confused.
I picked up Eguchi from Nintendo which I believe you can only get from Nintendo Zones. However he's the only person I picked up. No regular streetpass people.

You are changing the mac from your wan not wlan, use dd-wrt if its compatible with your router

In the settings of the 3DS theres a option to see

Perfect response. Thank you for being concise and informative.

security mode can be enabled, mine is
you should try changing your linksys to ddwrt since it's compatible
you need to flash this : http://www.dd-wrt.com/routerdb/de/d...wrt.v24-21061_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini-e1500.bin/3934
then : http://www.dd-wrt.com/routerdb/de/d...wrt.v24-21061_NEWD-2_K2.6_mega-nv64k.bin/3931
and finally apply the cron script on page 10

May anyone please help me out? I still can't get this to work. My 3DS can't connect to the internet using the Virtual Wi-Fi.

Windows 8.1 X64

My network adapters:
-Ethernet-adapter => connected to my router for internet
-Wi-Fi-adapter => not connected
-Virtual Wi-Fi => for homepass, created with netsh-command

1. On which adapter do I have to enable the "sharing"-option and which one is the target?
Is "Ethernet-adapter sharing to Virtual Wi-Fi?" correct?

2. Do I have to set manual IP-adresses? If yes, which ones?

Nothing worked out so far.

I'm trying to use WiFi Tether on my Android and I keep getting a "Setting MAC address... failed".
The network itself works fine, I'm just stuck with my own phone's MAC.
Any ideas?

Liberty · Dec 30, 2013

I don't get this shit. I just could finally connect my 3DS to the internet using the "attwifi"-virtual adapter, but after running MACycle, my 3DS won't connect any longer.

How do I know that streetpass is working? So I set up my streetpass relay and thought it was working when I saw a little 1 next to the two feet at the top of my game (when I pressed the home button).

...thing is, I've disabled the relay and I've just been playing as normal and all of a sardine, I have a number 3 next to the little feet icon at the top. Are these streetpasses? How did I get them while being connected to my regular wifi router (no streetpass relay)? Perhaps it's not related to streetpass? Sorry about the blurred image.

Those steps are literally how many steps you have walked with the 3DS while it is in sleep mode.

Can someone tell me if you have to actually connect to the attwifi access point through internet settings or is it enough just for your 3DS to detect that it's there without even ever going into the settings menu.

I think you need to connect to it but im wondering when i connect does it need to pass the test for it to work cause sometimes mine passes the first bit and then fails when its checking the connection to the internet?

Having an odd problem. Been having success myself, 6 passes for each Mac when I rotate, but my girlfriend's 3ds xl only gets 3. Every time. It's super weird. Settings are the same. Only thing different is she's on newer firmware than me, but that shouldn't matter. Anyone got any ideas?

Also, apparently it don't matter if you've got wireless security enabled or not, works like a charm either way (on a dd-wrt router).

Not sure if this will help you but this happen to me as well until I found out my antivirus Avast was blocking my connection so I went to network and sharing ---> Change Adapter settings and right clicked on both my main internet connection that was sharing and the Attwifi and unclick my firewall filter and after that it connected without any problems.

Usually you wont need to configure it on the menu but if you are having troubles try to manually set it up, and remove your normal wifi from the options so that the 3ds only connects to the attwifi

Hi guys i have a laptop to do this and can not get it done.

I tried the windows method (windows 8) but it never creates the virtual mini port and in linux i get the connection but when it tries to connect i get a could not connect error 003-1102. i have an atheros ar5b225.I have an ethernet connection of course.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Edit: forgot to add i tried with ubuntu 13.10 live cd and getting this at the end of the script

Setting up dnsmasq (2.66-4ubuntu1) ...
* Starting DNS forwarder and DHCP server dnsmasq [ OK ]
Setting up hostapd (1:1.0-3ubuntu2.1) ...
Processing triggers for ureadahead ...

May anyone please help me out. I didn't get a single answer here.

I enabled the virtual private network through netsh.
I enable sharing from my wired adapter to the Wi-Fi-hotspot.

My 3DS can't connect. And if it does, it will disconnect as soon as I use MACycle.

yes i get that too but for me it was working one time and now my 3ds cant connect to attwifi anymore at all

Do I have to

DarkKnigh_t said:

Exactly. As soon as I change the MAC, 3DS will not connect anymore. And no one here is able or at least trying to help

My tablet can't connect to attwifi likewise after changing the MAC.

I suspect drivers or windows registry or services something is getting corrupted but i dont know what. If it was working fine before that means its working but we need to find out whats exactly is happening. I'm working on it but would appreciate some advice
