nintendo wifi connection SUCKS

[resstealth]

its actually funny, i set my connection up and ill play a game, and as soon as the person i play quits, it stops working. i go to test my connection on the ds and it dosen't work. so i have to delete the connection, and remake the exact one for it to work. also you have to be within 10 ft of the router for it to work to begin with. my psp is coming in two days, anyone else had a problem like this with the psp?

My Nintendo WiFi connection works like a charm. I LOVE IT! It's very easy to set-up unless you're not very smart.

trust me han, im a networking god. i set it up perfectly, put my wep key in, set it to obtain ip auto, dns auto, i did everything right. it just did it to me again? any suggestions? also i added you to my friends and messaged you my code.

Strange. All I did was install the software. Plugged it in when it instructed me to than that was it. After that I registered my DS.

I suggest you read the manual and slap the person who thought you your networking skills.

ok i guess its just my ds skills that just suck, software? my router and wifi connection is fine, my laptop is on wireless and i have no troubles with it.

I also suggest you goto www.nintendo.com and read up on the USB WiFi adapter because last time I checked it did not require a router.

Note: I DO not have a wireless router and it works? Hmmm? :lol:

i do have a router though, im doing the setup by the manual, but everytime someone quits, i have to remake the connection.

EDIT: hanzo, up for a game? ive got you on friends so im ready when you are.

Forget about my friend code man. Delete it. I'll play someone else that knows what the heck they are doing and talking about.

Don't take it personal.

trust me hanzo, im very good with networks. im setting up the connection exactly how the manual says.

EDIT: its working now, i guess the ds dosen't like my wep. i turned security off and its working now. lets race.

Read the first paragraph. Good luck. I hope you understand.

damnit hanzo dont talk to me like im stupid. ive got it fixed indefinetly now, wep security is on, just had to tweak my routers firewall a bit. you up for a game?

[Hanzo]

Finally.. give me an hour. :D

[resstealth]

got ya, damn i hate firewalled routers. pain in the ass. :)

[resstealth]

ok i was wrong the connection is damn good. problem was my stupid netgear router needed a static setup, not auto. guess ill have to do the same with my psp, not hard though, just a pain in the ass when you dont know what the problem is lol. hanzo lock this.

ok should I get the wi-fi or not. I dont know if it is worth it.

well, if you don't like arcade kart racing, life sims or skateboarding, no. It's good and also cheap(if you dont have a router) but, you might want to hold out for more games

[resstealth]

your not buying the wifi connection bro, just the games that support it. me and hanzo will both tell you that mario kart ds is a really good game, better if you put a little time into the single player and unlock everything.
