How do you join the internet up to my DS?

Question

we have a wi fi connection apparently with the DS but how do you join it to the net? How do you play with people online?

Answer 1

To connect your DS to the internet you will need to have a game that enables wi-fi so you can go to the Wi-Fi settings screen. If your wireless connection have a W.E.P Key or password you will need to enter that into the Wireless network slot. Once this is done you must get the DS's M.A.C Key and input that into your computer, from where you control your wireless network. Unfortunately, if you don't have a wireless network connection you can't connect to Wi-Fi connection.

Answer 2

Most DS's work with all routers, but some routers or wifi points don't. So go here:

http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/wfc/en_...

and it will tell you what you can connect with, but then, i'm not sure, sorry (i havn't connected to wifi before). But that site tells alot of information.

Hope i helped at all :)

Answer 3

When you buy a game, it should have on the panel with Nintendo Ds A blue circle with Wi-Fi in white inside.

When you but the game into the DS turn on as usual but when you get to the menu on the game, there should be a button saying Nintendo Wi-Fi Settings, or NWF Settings. And select that. Then, when you get to the WiFi Menu it should come up with 3 ovals where you can connect up to three different Wifi Hot Spots or Internet Routers. Touch one of the ovals and go through the steps until you get to test your connection. It should work but if it doesn't, you will have to enter the information manually. You can find your IP Address and other info on your computer. If you need any more help just contact me.

Answer 5

ok i have read all of the other answers and i think i can see the problem you are having.

if your router has a WEP code then you need to type that code into the thing[in this case DS] that is trying to access your interenet connection for the router to allow the DS to use the connection.

the WEP code is usually on a sticker underneath the router.

however if you have a netgear then i have no idea how to get the WEP code. my friend had to turn off the code [which i have no idea how do] sorry.

if you are still having probelems try this website:

Answer 6

Ok basically if your router is secured using wpa/wpa2 then you cannot connect to the internet without the nintendo usb adaptor. With this is it like a 2nd gateway and you can keep your connection secured with wpa and connect wirelessly through the ds.

If you have a WEP key as your wireless security then your ds should be fine to connect with.

I highly reccomend the nintendo usb adaptor. Around £20 from amazon or any other retail store.

Good luck setting up.
