Alright, so I just set up my wireless router and it's been working great with my WiFi games for the Wii, but everytime I try to connect to WiFi on a DS game it'll just say "unable to connect to internet"
Anyone know why?...
i don't know the difference between the WII and the NDS settings but i can tell you the NDS requires the following...
WEP 64bit or 128bit with a valid key
Channels 1, 6 or 11
802.11B
Public broadcasting of the SSID must be set to enabled.
Range Enhancing features should be turned off.
It also helps if you change the defult SSID for your router. If you have two routers with the same SSID the NDS can have issues trying to find the correct one. Keep in mind that your NDS might see a neighbors router with the same SSID.
Make sure you "apply" the settings using the feature present in your router so that the router *updates* itself. This is the only way to make the settings active for some routers. Wait about 10 minutes after doing this to make sure the router is sending packets back around your network correctly. Sometimes it can take less time or more time for an *updated* router setting to be present and active.
When you load the "WIFI" settings for a game it is actually the WIFI settings of the NDS itself. Any adjustments you make here will be stored in the firmware of the NDS. You are not simply adjusting each game on a game for game basis. So with that understood, open the WIFI settings using any game and input your SID and your WEP key. Save these settings and close out of the setup.
Now try scanning for wireless networks and it should find yours. If it doesn't than double check that your router is set up using the settings above.
I have noticed that MarioKart has problems finding my network at times. Walking out of the room or simply holding my NDS up in the air will allow me to connect.
Goodluck
