I'm confused about my DS and wireless?

Rwac · 1 Oct 2006 at 17:47

I have just bought a second hand standard Nintendo DS.

I am confused, i have an 802.11b wireless access point in my house, do i need to buy anything extra to connect my DS wirelessly?

And if not, how do i connect it?

Read the manual. Funnily enough it's all in there.

But no, you don't need anything else..but you have to change your wireless security to WEP if i remember rightly.

You need a game that supports WFC.

You don't have to say that, how is he supposed to know?

People jump to conclusions far too easily when they sit behind their keyboard.

There are several different ways he could have phrased it but he chose a smart ass way.

I'll see if i am able to download the manual off the website, and get my head round this.

Thanks

Oh be quiet Goatyman. I was trying to help...stating the obvious sure, but you didnt really give me much to go on. Some people often bypass manuals even though it usually has all the information they'd possibly need.

Note to self: don't bother helping Goatyman in future.

I think you'll find the answer is here.

You sound like your trying to set it up in the ds OS which you cant do. You need a wifi game.
