Since two or three days ago my 3DS has started acting strangely when I connect to the internet.
I'm using wifi on a smartphone as entry point, when I turn on wifi on my 3DS, it connects itself normally (streetpass green icon changes to blue and says internet) but then after a few seconds it disconnects for no apparent reason. Then it randomly connects itself, then disconnects, and the process repeats until it simply stops connecting and remains in streetpass mode. A few days before this didn't happen at all.
The strange thing is streetpass works and I can play local multiplayer with no problem, issue seems to be with internet only.
I have tried resetting the internet settings on my 3DS, tried resetting the phone's, disabled password protection temporarily, tried again, nothing seems to work. The phone doens't seem to be the problem either because I can connect to it with other devices without a hitch.
EDIT:
I tried on a different network (on my university), same problem. An odd thing is, I launched the Internet Browser and suddenly Internet icon went stable. I managed to do google search, check mail, and browse the internet perfectly from the 3DS. But then when I returned to home menu, it started flickering again. When I launch other apps that connect to the internet, it automatically disconnects, but the Internet Brower works just fine.
Any idea why is this happening and if there's some way to fix it?
