3DS Know How - How to play old WEP DS/Lite games on a WPA-WPA2 Network

Alo everyone! I just tried this and I am pleased to announce that this method does indeed work. All you need is a wireless router with an AOSS feature (Love my Buffalo Wireless N router), and your 3DS. Also it's quite easy!!!

Step 1: On your 3DS, go to Settings.

Step 2: Under settings, go to Internet Settings

Step 3: In the internet settings, you click "DS CONNECTIVITY"

Step 4: This will prompt up the old DS connection interface.

Step 5: Select an empty connection slot (preferably the first one)

Step 6: Select the AOSS icon

Step 7: Follow the prompt to have the 3DS utilize the DS's AOSS search component while pressing the AOSS button on the router to activate the AOSS search to give the "DS" an encryption key.

Step 8: Upon successful completion, pop in a game (for me it was soul silver) to test to see if the WEP game plays via the newly set up AOSS connection.

Viola~! Now you can play WEP DS games as well as your WPA-WPA2 DSi/3DS games. :D

Cheers!

Oh and you can ask any questions should you have problems. ^.^

It has to be AOSS only?

It can be usb connector too, but a surefire way is AOSS function within the wireless router. :)

Well if you want, I can research the cheapest option? 0.0

Dont even know what an AOSS is. Nor do I have one. And i doubt many other people do too....

Yeah Id rather just disable security temporarily than fork out for a new router, not like DS titles need much Wi-Fi anyways! ;)

Nice! Thanks for the info, I'll have to check it out when I got home. I have mine set up with WPA2, but I know my router has the AOSS.YoBrandino

No problem. Good luck mate! :D

As old as this topic isn't, my router also doesn't have aoss. I think it was replaced by wps. My router has that but its not compatible with aoss.
