Nintendo DS WiFi help anyone?

[Patrick425]

My son got a Nintendo DS for Christmas. We have wireless internet with WEP security. The DS detects the the wireless connection. However, when I enter the WEP security key, it won't connect. It gives me an error code. I go to the Nintendo web site and enter the code and it tells me there is an issue with the WEP key. I have entered it several times, so it's not a matter of entering the wrong numbers. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it. I'm using a Lynksis (spl?) router.

Could it be the key length?

Nintendo has problems with some wireless routers meaning you may need the dongle they sell. Of course its often cheaper just to buy a new router.

I miss the good ol' days when the only problem you'd have on X-mas morning was, 'Crap! Forgot the batteries!'

I think you have to go into your wireless router and turn one of the channels off.

I'm guessing your using DHCP scope on your router? If so try setting a single static IP for the DS and have it's address be at least .10 away from anything else. ex: 192.168.0.1 (router) try 192.168.0.25 for the DS. Weird I known but i had to do that before my DS would use my Netgear router.

Thanks everyone for their help! I finally figured it out. I have MAC settings entered on my router. I had to enter the MAC code from the DS into the router so that it would accept the DS.
