So...I'm posting this from my 3ds. All of a sudden it decided to update after I changed MTU value to 1500 in the connection settings... I dont even know what it did but figured I had nothing to lose by messing around a bit more...
just what i'm experiencing sir.. the download bar would just fill up a little then it would stop and just says error and the 3ds will restart itself.. it won't even reach 50%.. will you let me know if you come up with a solution eventually just in case? thanks..

Did you get yours figured out yet?

I was having the exact same problem as you guys are. The bar went till a certain point and then it gave me an error. The method shown above worked for me and i really hope it solves all of the problems you guys are facing

not yet i'm afraid.. this time it fills up until 40% at most then the same thing happens, it stops and restarts itself.. i tried what you did from your previous post changing the MTU value to 1500 as mine is set originally to 1400 before.. but to no avail.. glad to know you got your 3ds updated though..

Better than 1% eh? Is your signal strength good?
well, setting up dmz is different for each router, which company's router/modem do you have?
and you dont really need dmz for just updating. Its helpful when playing mario kart 7 and thats about it.
If you tried replacing your dns with
Primary dns= 008.008.008.008
secondary dns=008.008.004.004
and it still isnt working then you should contact nintendo via email imo.

i went through the same thing when i got mine what me and my bro did was keep on trying to update by around 7 or so we were able to update and when i updated again i did it in the early morning around 6:00-6:30am so in a nutshell try updating late at night or in the early mornings because that when there is less traffic in Nintendo's serversand you dont really need dmz for just updating.

Nintendo and all of their guides say that router firewalls interfere with updating which is why I tried adding mine to DMZ, since I have no way of disabling my router's firewall. So they think it does something...
