Diagnosing the issue

• How do I connect my Nintendo DS system to the internet?

  1. Select the System Settings icon from the menu, then click on Internet – which is on the 3rd page – followed by Connection Settings.
  2. Select one of the connection options, then click ‘Search for an Access Point’ and your Nintendo DS system will look for any wireless networks within range. It’ll display any networks it finds when it has finished searching.
  3. What happens next will depend on the security lock icon that appears next to the network you want to connect to.

• What should I do if the icon looks like this ?
  
  

  This means that the network you want to connect to doesn’t have any security settings.

  Select the network then press ‘OK’. You will then be asked if you want to save your settings, so click ‘OK’ to do that.

  Your system will then run a connection test. If it’s successful, your Nintendo DS will be connected to the internet.

• What should I do if the icon looks like this ?
  
  

  This icon means you’ll need a password to access the network. Enter your password, then save your settings when asked.

  Your system will then run a connection test. If it’s successful, your Nintendo DS will be connected to the internet.

• My connection test failed. What can I do?

  Make sure that your wireless router is working correctly by connecting with another device such as a laptop or mobile phone. Make sure you are within the router’s range, as signal strength drops the further away you get from it.
