Nintendo DS WiFi oddity?

[CyberPitz]

Well, at times, I'll connect to the WiFi network easily most of the time. There are just random problem spots of a few hours/1 day where it says it can't get an IP address, that I need to get within range of the access point, or check my DHCP settings. Why would it randomly NOT work?

 

[CyberPitz]

Ok, well...I come to find out this is day 2 of the WiFi not working!....I have no idea how to fix it.

 

[VictimOfScience]

Try any nintendo/DS forums? There are probably a ton out there. I have never even tried my wifi functionality on mine, otherwise I might be able to help. Sorry...;(

 

[CyberPitz]

sadface, I was hoping for a q uick answer without me having to scavange other forums...tanx anyway

 

[Dekstar]

There might be a firmware update perhaps?
Or make sure your battery is full, because it may not have enought o fully initialize the wifi.

I don't own a DS, jsut those might be relevant.

The DS' WiFi connector is really iffy. Even though I have a really good wireless connection, I often have to move around my house to find a spot to actually connect in. So I'd recommend just moving around...

was not. He just barely survived it. that's all.

Anyway, when trying to make a new connection in the DS, I can find the access point, just when it tries to test the connection, it fails.... \=

open ports on your router?

 

[CyberPitz]

Well, the fix is, for some reason, I have to enable DHCP, then when it stopps, disable it, when it breaks again, reinable....yeah...weird.
