    sorry to hear that.
    you could always try an alternative like an actual wifi usb stick, not just some nintendo one.

    do not get the wifi max. you will have a lot harder time trying to get that to work.

    well. if you say so.
    i know it sucked ass for me. thats why i returned it.
    but if it works for you good. it might have a better range than the Nintendo Wifi USB Connector anyway.

    I followed your video instructions precisely but I'm having a bit of a problem. When I try to connect with my DS, it connects to the SoftAP thingy, but it's unable to connect to the internet. I'm not sure what to do.

    It still won't work. I set it to 192.168.0.11. Also, my internet on my computer won't work when I enable the adapter. Does the adapter work in station mode too?

    can you explain a bit more.

    @ianfantry
    try changing the ip while the adapter is enabled.

    I'm not sure how I could clarify.. Hmm..

    When I try to connect with my DS, it takes about a minute to connect, then it gives me an error. "Error 52102 : Connected to access point but unable to connect to the server. Confirm connection settings and internet availability."

    I followed your instructions; enabled ICS on my main connection, my DS IP and Connector IP are different, I'm not really sure what's wrong with it. It sends packets but it doesn't receive them.
