Desperately need help with wi-fi
 

I reaally need help guys. .-.
Ok so some of you know I use this thing called a "Nintendo wifi USB connector" to get my DS to battle online and all that junk. It was working fine at first but now its getting harder and harder to get to function. It will only start up when I press on the start button TWICE and when it does it will say its working but when I try to go online it will shut off again and even freeze my computer on occasions. Yea real nice nintendo. :l I see why this thing was discontinued now.

However I use this thing to connect because its the only thing that will connect.
Ive gone through piles and piles of errors that i've fixed for it to connect without the Nintendo USB but theres one error that seem unfixable. The error 52100. Ive tried everything. Ive tried shutting down my firewall, making bridge connections amongst networks, putting in all my information manually several times. Nothing working...


So tell me. Do I need a new wireless router or what? Mines wireless but is there something im missing like any specific requirements to get this thing to work? Or is there something I just havn't tried yet to get it to work. Please give suggestions. ;~;


[spoiler:25iu56y3]Ok this is just a mini-rant and its not really important so feel free to skip over this but this is here for me to let off some steam. Anywho im reaaally ticked at how crappy and problematic the DS's wifi is. Its not just the nintendo USB thing thats getting me mad but the DS as well. There is no one I know that was able to get this thing to work without struggling through a ton of errors before finally getting it to function.[/spoiler:25iu56y3]

Did you try deleteing and then re-installing the USB's software?

Re: Desperately need help with wi-fi
 

Hmm..well something like that. I tried just plain re-installing it and copy pasting over the old data. Would deleting it first then re-installing it help? o3o

It would, as it would get all the original files out and then starts fresh.

The only specific problems I've had with the DS' WiFi is that it is not compatible in any way with AGP encrypted signals. You may need to remove your encryption in order to get it working.

Is your internet password a WEP key?? If no, change it so it is.
I tried everything, and then this worked. Don't know why, but it did.

I reinstalled it and it worked fine!

Oh crud, forgot about replying to this thread.

Well alot of your suggestions helped but im gonna have to buy a new nintendo wi-fi usb connector.

The router thing you guys mentioned was probably one of the problems, however my mom won't even let me go near it even though im pretty computer savvy, but I guess I can understand that. If the internet decides to bust later on the blame would have been put on me. >3>

As for reinstalling the program, the first time I bought a nintendo USB connector off ebay it was a fake, and came with a fake disk. Thinking I had the real disk, I uninstalled the program and used the fake disk only to realize I had lost the real disk. UHhhhg ;~;

Anywho thanks for the help everyone~!
