What kind of 3DS is it and have you ever dropped it or tossed it somewhere like a bed or sofa?

Maybe the Network adapter (?) got loose inside.

 

[lerak07]

it's an old one.

I never dropped it or tossed it

Did you change something with your AP? The 3DS can't detect 5GHz networks, so maybe that's the cause of your problem.

Maybe the Network adapter (?) got loose inside.

If the network card is not connected, the 3DS is basically semi-bricked (the system doesn't fully load, and it's not possible to launch any app), so that's probably not the problem.

EDIT: And actually, if we admit the network card isn't connected, Streetpass wouldn't work, but in this case it does.

read that and have a look that you use the right one to conect

[lerak07]

no i didn't change my ap but it doesn't detect any ap even without password

 

[a9lh-1user]

When did it worked last time?
What did you changed since then?
How long do you use the Old 3DS?

There are a leak of informations right now

 

[a9lh-1user]

......let me guess.......
you used the "Nintendo DS Connection" !

It would be a nice gesture IMHO to let us know if it is working now because you started the thread

so long

 

[lerak07]

okay sorry.

I used the 3ds connection settings

It worked until last sunday.
I don't know what is changed
i use the 3ds for a couple of months now

 

[a9lh-1user]

What has changed on last sunday?
Did your parents (your profile say's your are 17 so i think you live at your parents house) change the AP settings?
Are you on a CFW (Custom Firmware) or has your 3ds original firmware?
If you use CFW which one?
Do you use a Gateway card or something similar?

All informations could be usefull to solve the problem......hopefully it isn't and HW failure

 

[lerak07]

-I also wonder what changed but i haven't found it yet.
- I do networking at home so checked my ap and tried others
- I'm on original firmware
- I don't use a gateway card.

And i realy hope it's not the hardware cost me some money

but thanks that you are trying to help me out.

 

[a9lh-1user]

On what version of the Firmware are you?
If it is not the newest one make an update!
Then the thing that comes to my mind is get the battery out for 10-15 minutes.
Put it back and try again.
If it wont work you can RESET the 3ds in your system settings with the "Format System" option.

If all of that dont work ....... let it check from a reseller maybe the WiFi is brocken
But not yet......try first the other solutions (maybe someone else has a nice idea to)

 

[lerak07]

I'm on the latest one but howto format sytem it asks internet connection

 

[a9lh-1user]

yep sorry my fault
Is the button for WifI working?
what happened if you switch it a couple of times?
Is the yellow led on?
When you switch it off is the yellow led off?
If so shutdown your 3ds and hold the button when you switch it on?!

All that are shot's to maybe nothing........but sometimes it work

 

[lerak07]

Is there maybe someone with the same problem?

The led works when it's switched on

I tried this but didn't worked

Is there a way that i can reset my 3ds without internet ?

 

[SomeGamer]

Is your 3DS hacked in any way?

 

[lerak07]

no it isn't hacked

you need to change the wifi card then if nothing from the above suggestions doesn't work
