Misc Connect DSi XL to cellphone hotspot

[Jalkhov]

I am trying to connect the console to the shared connection of a Nokia Lumia 710, the access point security type is WPA2.

The error it throws at me is: 052010-1, saying that no "IP address could be obtained".

For this type of connection how should I set the IP address? Because I enter to configure it and it also asks me for the subnet mask and the gateway.

The method I used was: Settings Menu > Internet > Connection Settings > Advanced Settings > Connection 4 > Search for Access Point > I select the network > I insert the password (themostsecurepassword) > I press accept > I save the settings > It tells me that a connection test is going to be performed, after approximately 40 seconds it throws me the error exposed above.

I just installed HiyaCFW to my console, just so you know.

But I don't want to use the wifi for the games, it's to use the ds browser, the Facebook application and maybe check for firmware updates, if it's still available, or use the store too. It's just a curiosity.

You're right, but the point is, I want to do it. Is it possible or not? Skipping the Facebook and browser part, I want to see if you can update the firmware or download games.

Dsi wifi support is very limited, DS only games can only recongise no password/WEP connections, also most of nintendo online services have been shut down. Maybe you are interested in replacement severs like wimmifi, but still...
What firmware version do you have? I also don't know if updating with Hiya may damage your device...

Updating the DSi firmware is not a good idea for the most. The pretty much only thing updates did/do is blocking flashcarts and exploits. See for yourself and decide if you want to have this update "features":

I can't find it at the moment. There was something about firmware update removing HiyaCFW's SD patches. Maybe it breaks the SD-NAND?
===========

The pretty much only benefit of updating is accessing the defunct shop to

• unlock "Data Management" in System Settings (if it is not already there)
• redownload already purchased software.

I get the sentiment, but the DSi Browser is essentially the same, but leagues better, only a few differences outside of how it looks and the performance/website.

By Facebook application, do you mean the official DSi Camera uploader? Or the homebrew?
