Ok, right now I'm trying to setup my Nintendo WFC but isnt working. My DS automatically picked-up a hotspot called "NetGear" but it doesnt recognize it. What do I have to do to get it recognized. Weird though, on the setup screen it says its ready.
Also, the name of the error code is 52100.
None.
Lol, I don't know what router type he has. I'mma tryin to stealz his wi-fi connection.
None.
can you get a computer with a wireless adapter to the wifi area? if so, connect to his network and in "Network Places", there is a button off to the left that says something about the NAT connection. Click on it and maybe you can access his routerīs control panel. If it asks you for a password, the defaults are usualy (User name:admin) and (password:admin)
The name of the router and model should be stated in the control panel.
None.
You know what would be funny? If he had a WEP key that you didn't know about. That's typically a big problem.
Yeah, so I had this problem when I was trying to get my DS set up with our wi-fi. We had a security setting on so it could only be used if the device attempting to connect had its MAC-address on the safe list. Might be that, too.

Yea, it's most likely the wep key but I'm not gonna ask him because he will then find out im using it for free which I want it to be. So I'm not sure what the password is. I have a better chance of starting from 1-111-111-111-111 before I get it.
None.
Well, the DS has a red lock when you see a connection with a WEP key, so I assume you didn't miss the big red lock..
None.
