Wi-Fi Trouble

My old home internet connection used to have no security. We decided to buys faster, more secure router. Our current one uses a WPA security key. After we set it up, I connected it to my Nintendo DSi. I still have access to things like Flipnote Hatena, Web Browser, DSi Shop, etc. The problem is when I try to play a Nintendo WFC compatible game card (like Metroid Prime Hunters), I cannot use the Nintendo WFC features. Are there any solutions to this problem?

Bring it, foo!

Oh. i know what's the problem. you just need a unlocked access point in order to connect to the internet on there. also if you want to connect to metroid prime hunters on your DSi. please try looking at your access point settings on your PC and look for your IP address. fill out everything on your connection settings and you will be able to play. also if it works. try joining my tournament. ^-^

Although the DSi can use WPA-encrypted access points for the DSiShop and apps (like Flipnote or the Opera browser), normal DS games (like MPH) cannot. The solution is to switch your access point's encryption from WPA to WEP--which is less secure, but will work for DS games. How to switch varies by the router and by its software, so check your router's instruction manual for that. Sometimes it can be as easy as toggling a choice in settings.

Catch my drift.

Limxzero- He can work that access point. he just can't access it if he didn't fill out his IP. i have a wep. but I'm having a hard time connecting with it though. i have to play my game outside to connect to someone wifi.

@DethDude It was plainly stated that the router was WPA-encrypted. So right now, it has nothing to do with the IP address or any other specific connection criteria, the availability of which are all determined by the router's security options. Nintendo DS games do not support online connection through WPA-encryption. Period.

Catch my drift.
