Cant get my DS on Wireless

TechnoCorruption · 5 Feb 2006 at 11:48

I have just set up a wireless network in the house and all seems to be well, I have the PC connected through an ethernet port on the back of the router and have set it up to enable wireless. The PC works fine on the router.

When I go into the DS Wifi settings on MK, it picks up the access point with full signal and proceeds me to the page to enter my password, once entered, it then trys to connect which it cant do for some reason, I have tried changing the password to make sure I wasnt entering it wrong.

I have tried the help pages at www.nintendowifi.com but they wernt any help.

You have to make sure the router is using WEP encryption, and nothing else. Try removing the password and seeing if that works. Double check you haven't got MAC address filtering turned on too, and if you have add the DS's MAC addy

Also, it's worth noting that some routers simply aren't compatible. My DS can't even *see* my girlfriend's router

set your Tx Rates to 2

Make sure your router is set to B+G modes, not just G too.

better still, what router do you have?

It was a speedtouch 576 from AOL, I have looked round the net some more and it seems that its bugged out pretty bad, something about the firmware not accepting WEP codes and that you have to have numerous codes for each wireless item.

Needless to say I phoned AOL (for what its worth

) and told them to pick it back up, AOL have been getting on my nerves lately so I have asked them for my MAC code.
