How to go onto Wifi in Pokemon Pearl?

Question

I have wireless internet, and my laptop is using it right now. So I'm pretty sure that it works, BUT, I can't get Pokemon Pearl to work

Is there something you have to do to set up Pokemon or something?

Answer 1

Is your wireless setting to WEP key? It might be on WPA. You can go to this site: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/wfc/en_...

Select your router and then your model. Your model could be found under your router. Then once your on the page showing your router model, click the link to default IP. We may have different wireless routers, but I'll tell you what I do. I click security on the sidebar to the left. Then it comes to a page saying password, just click submit without typing anything. Click security again, and click the WEP. You then have to make a password then save changes. If your wireless router is set to private so you need a password, your laptop's internet won't work because you're switching to WEP. You'll have to type in the password you make for WEP. Then you're good to go. Sorry for confusing you, but I hope I helped somewhat. Oh, I forgot to mention. After you do all this, you turn on your ds, then you click Nintendo WFC settings, or whatever it's called, once you get to the menu (stuff like Continue, New Game, Etc). Then you search for an access point and yeah.

Answer 2

I have the game too, but I've never tried to do WIFI.

Could you maybe go into "options" or "settings" and see if you can set up and internet connection?

Try looking in the instruction booklet, too.

Answer 3

I recently had this problem. Save your game, turn it off. and the options on the menu are, Continue, New game and Wi-fi connection. You need to set it up from there first before trying to play online.
