Setting Up Wifi On Nintendo DS

Trying to setup an access point for my DS, its asking for SSID (which is my network name, if I understand correctly?), my WEP Key (which I found and inputted), and when I go to test the connection it fails. DId I do something wrong?

Regular DS, DSi, or 3DS?

Regular DS can only support the old Wifi types, like Shared-WEP.

Check what type your wireless router is. (I'm betting WPA2, I had this problem with my old DS)

DS Lite, and how do I find that out?

I have my router pulled up in my broswer atm.

Usually you just access the router w/ your browser and it'll have the option under Wireless information somewhere.

Also, when I was hooking up my DSlite to McD's Wifi a few months ago (so i could get a Pokemon Wifi event for my JP Black game) it also did the same thing.
I'm 99% sure it's the encryption.

I had to change our router from WPA to WEP so my son could connect his DS.

I have a Wireless Security Tab, and it shows 4 different keys (assuming all are WEP keys), and it says Default Tranmit Key : 1, does that mean the first key is the one I use? If so, it doesn't work when I try to test the connection on the DS :/

So yeah I just set up internet connection for my DS, not too troubling, had to change settings to WEP as I'm pretty sure is probably the issue you're having.

i typically remove all security until i know i can get some communication then work backwards from there.

Quoting this because it looks familiar, is it 4 codes consisting of numbers and letters?

If so you should be able to pick the 1st of those 4 and that would be your WEP Key.

Theres 4 yeah, have only tried the first one so far. Will try the other 3 when I get home from work :/

Heh, maybe my work has an access point xD
