Poor ds has been trying for 12 months. We've been into every free WiFi cafe here and alas, nothing. It's supposed to have a free browser but nothing works. The instructions on the site don't work, where are we supposed to find a WAN code (or whatever it is) when we're in a cafe??

Please help, he'll be over the moon if he can get it to work.

Thank you Smile Bloody thing!

Well, only 1 out of our 4 connects to the net, so I'm as clueless as you.

Have a look here and see if that helps. Do you have wifi at home? You will need to know what your network name is (the SSID) and what type of security it has - the likely answers are (1) none (2) WEP or (3) WPA. If you have a computer connected to the wifi then looking at the network settings on that might help. If you have WEP or WPA then there will be some sort of password to connect to the wifi.

A lot of people now have their internet box (router/modem etc) provided by the company who provides the internet connection. If you do, then the security code is usually on the back or bottom of it.

Good luck! Smile

We have wifi but I don't think I it's set up properly. Blush I think there's an incorrect setting in the ds Confused

Well we can try to help! Why do you think the wifi is not set up properly? I'm guessing you have not used it with a computer then?

What setting on the DSi do you think is wrong?

The nice man from Belkin has helped me to set the wifi up again and now the ds works!! Grin

It was the wifi at home that was the problem, all fixed now. Smile

Thank you.
