Provide some information such as
what you're connecting to:
security settings of your connection:
which connection slot you're using on the 3DS:[/p]

Is the wireless switch on? It might be a stupid question, but I did just that at a Best Buy.

I felt so stupid... :/

There is a little yellow light... somewhere. I can't remember where.

The 3DS supports all types of securities on routers, like WEP or WPA. If you haven't messed with your router, it probably has WPA.

Do you get any error codes or can't you see your access point?

 

[Slyakin]

Strange. What is the error message? Can you explain what happens on the 3DS when you try to connect?

 

[lerrin97]

i have just tryed it right next to my router and i got this error message 003-1101 the sercurity key might have been entord incorrectly or the acces point may have been configured incorectly

 

[Slyakin]

Your access key SHOULD be under/on your access point. If in default, that is.

Maybe you got the same problem as I have whenever I get a new device and try to connect it to the internet: Forgetting about a MAC filter in your rooter.

Seriously, for every single device I get I try around for 10 minutes cursing the thing for not being able to get a connection and then remember I forgot that damn MAC filter once again.

i have just tryed it right next to my router and i got this error message 003-1101 the sercurity key might have been entord incorrectly or the acces point may have been configured incorectly also it finds my router and goes to connecting to it but shows a red cross

Content from here may help you.

Got it working. The 3ds must have a b wireless adapter not a g or n. Enabling the netgear wireless mode to run on b & g has done the trick.

Channels and security types have no affect. I have just tested this

Hope this helps, Brian.

what do you mean a b wireless adaptor or a g or n?

 

[Deleted_171835]

What router are you using?

Enter your router settings and switch to wireless b instead of g or n. You can usually access your routers settings by typing 192.168.1.0 in the address bar of your internet browser.

The default login credentials are usually
Username: admin
Password: password

QUOTE(SoulSnatcher @ Mar 26 2011, 09:04 PM) What router are you using?

 

[lerrin97]

a sky router

 

[Deleted_171835]

a sky router

You've got to be more specific then that.
The model number should be on a sticker on the back of the router.

 

[lerrin97]

all it says is ssid which is sky24624
