right, so I've now got my ds
which is just brilliant
and today i got my first wi-fi enabled game through the post from ebay... mario kart
so far very enjoyable game
so i thought I'd have a go at the on-line play for the first time, and i went to set up the connection settings but for some reason the ds wouldn't connect to my router...
no problem, i thought i would figure out why and just change a few settings here and there
it advised me to go to
NintendoWIFI.com to see what settings i should use for my specific router
which i did
only to find that it wasn't connecting because i had configured my router to use the WPA pre shared key
for some reason the Nintendo ds does not recognise this method of security
and requires that i switch my router to the older and less secure WEP
why oh why is this the case?
does anyone know of any reason why this is the case ?
it is such a weird thing for Nintendo to require
oh and by the way i did change the settings and have quite happily played on-line now !!
but now my router is not a secure as before....
shame
