Hi people desperatly need help with this, my ds says "the access point's security settings are not supported by the nintendo ds" when i try to connect to my wi fi usb. what can i do to stop this?
hey i bought the wifi connector for my wii and ds and i had nothing but problems with it. it kept shuttingof midway throguh wifi matches it was really getting me frustrated so i re-installed it and tryed everything i could think of to fix it and nothing worked so my suggestion is to return it to where u bought it find some alternative to wifi ur ds.
nintendo has actually discontinued the wi-fi connector due to all its problems. i had mine for a week and now it just doesnt work at all. and good luck selling it back.. if you didnt buy it directly from nintendo, they wont take it.
The majority of peoples issues with the Nintendo USB WiFi adapter (same problem I had) is that it has a very hard time connecting through people's firewalls. I have to disable my firewall in order for my DS and Wii will connect to the Nintendo WiFi network. To my understanding, there are no ports that you can simply allow access for it to work. Try disabling your firewall and give your DS a shot.
Understand this, you are not connecting to a WiFi network via the conventional means. There are no WEP controls that you will have to worry about. The only thing you need to do is in game, you must configure your WiFi settings to accept the Nintendo USB WiFi connector. There is a button specifically for the WiFi adapter in the WiFi settings.
I hope some of this will have been some help to you. Best of luck to you.
Well, that explains something as to why my Wi-fi USB connector hardly ever works right. I have trouble setting up my DS to connect, so this doesn't seem too good.
I have the USB connector and after a couple months up problems I have managed to get it working consitently for the last few weeks. I have had basically every error out there, included error 52103. The last digit, the "3" means it is a problem with the usb connetcor but thats pretty obvious. The 52 means it is a firewall problem. Try to allow your connector through the firewall as one of the allowed programs. Or disable firewall or set it to open level security. One thing that is important to know is that these changes will not take effect unless you reinstall the connector. So try some of those things then reinstall the connector. That's what worked for me.
Buffalo Technologies has an adapter almost exactly like the Nintendo USB WiFi adapter however not nearly as restrictive (meaning that other wifi enabled devices like PDAs can connect to it). It is unknown however whether they have software for use with Vista. You would have to research that one.
I was about to mention the LAN adapter however realized that this is for the DS and not the Wii.
My suggestion is just Fing break the pos and get a wirless router it is soo much easier. I had soo many problems and tried everything that everyone suggested and nothing worked because they are peices of junk :P
Another one with problems here....using it with Wii is like hell!! And the disconnects with the DS are pretty usual..... Not to mention the software, I need to reinstall everytime I use it....
I don't own a Nintendo USB WIFI connector....but.....
For those of you that say it shuts off on you:
Have you checked the settings in the device manager under the power management tab for the nintendo USB device and ensure that "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" is not checked?
