Tutorial - Make Your Nintendo Wifi USB Connector A SoftAP

excuse me, whenever im stuck in step 6..., whenever i open the control center thing, and click on the soft ap mode, i always get an acces violation in address 0047C7EA in module "wireless.exe". Read of address 027A394C. then i click ok and the mode returnes to the original one and the wifi thing doesnt appear on network conections like it should...

thanks for ur help.

 

Did you make sure you copy'd over the other files/driver in step 3 and 5 ?
I'll send you a thread in your personals showing how to set up after this install...

anytime WD.

 

this is the message i get everytime i click on the soft ap tab

 

Not really sure but I'm thinking that maybe in step 3 you haven't overwriten the other files there or in step 5 when replacing the driver there overwriting the other driver, for the few minutes it takes just go back and follow these 6 steps to a tee and if you end up at the same point I'll try to help you more

 

thanks for ur help... im really not sure why this happens i tried doin it like 5 times exactly as the tutorial said, overwriting and not overwriting, i just dont seem to get it to work, ill try my second option now, using the wireless card as an access point, thanks for everything tho.

 

I am new and I saw your brill tutorial but I have a few questions. Do I have to uninstall the registration tool? And I am guessing that if it all goes horribly wrong, I can uninstall everything and just set it back to normal right?

 

I take it you've installed the nintendo disc. Just go back and un install that and do a search for any remaining nintendo folders and delete them as well. Then reboot and start to install the new drivers follow the first 6 steps and then set up your network like this....

Under The Asus WLAN Card Setting

Click on Config on the left side.


Basic Tab:

Network Type:Infrastructure

Network Name:default

Channel : 1

Encryption Tab:

Network Authentication: Open

Data Encrption: Disabled

Soft AP Tab:

Check The Soft AP Mode

Check To Enable The ICS

Access Control Tab:

Access Control Policy: Accept

Access Control List: This is were you input your mac address of your DS found under Nintendo WFC Settings,Options,System Information there you'll find your Mac Address 00-00-00-00-00-00 eg. Just note this is were you would input additional hardware addresses as well ( PSP, Laptop Eg.). Then of coase you click add. Now you'll see that same address under the list of Mac Addresses Allowed To Be On The Network.

Now go back to the basic tab and click on advanced make sure under the 54g Mode its 802.11b only. All the other settings should not to be touched.But if you want to know here's what mine are set to.

RTS Threshold: 2347

Fragmentation Threshold: 2347

Preamble Mode: Long

Frame Bursting: Disabled

54g Mode: 802.11b only

54g Protection: Auto

Use Short Slot Time: Disabled

Important after making any adjustments to click on OK on the bottom left before closing tab.

Ok try your DS by going into nintendo WFC, then nintendo WFC Settings,Nintendo WiFi Connectin Settings. Erase all previous settings. Now pick a connection 1,2 or 3 now search for access point, after a few moments it should come up with a screen showing a default connection thats unlocked and a signal, Click OK. It will show a new Connection 2 Settings screen press OK again and it will set up your DS connection for you. After its done it should say connection successful and then go back to the Connection setup screen. Now just back out and your ready to Play. If you wanted to go into the connection setup screen again ,you'll see that the connection you choose has changed the erase settings to yellow from white meaning its saved. Now Go Have Fun !!!!

Any problems I'll try to help you figure it out.

anytime WD.

 

Well I got it all to work, but now Whenever I have a freind online on any DS game, it will kick me off and not let me log onto Wi-fi, and same goes whenever I get a phone call at my house it kicks me off and wont let me back on, but other than that it work perfectly.

So whats going on.

Plz Email me answers to Jongamer303@yahoo.com because I barely aver come to this site.

 

My DS is coming up with, cannot obtain ip address, error code 52000. Why?

 

YAY! Everything is successful, apart from one thing. I HAVE to have Norton Protection Center on my computer and at the moment, in order for me to connect anything, I have to turn it off. Can anyone help me configure it so it will allow me to connect things to it, i.e. DS, PSP, Wii etc.?

 

First ? what type of internet service do you have?

As far as your phone issue I'm guessing you have a wireless phone which is running in the same frequency range and you may need to move your phone not sure if this will work as the cordless phones are fairly strong.
The other thing you may won't to try is testing out a different channel in your wireless settings under config you have 1-11 I just found 1 seem to work with my DS,PSP and my lap top. Of course when running more then one thing though the wifi you always default to the lower connection speed...
Let me know how you make out.

What windows are you running, seems to me like the firewall in norton should be shut off and if you have xp let it take care of that.
WD.

 

It would just be good to be able to connect whilst Norton is on. And it saves mum asking why theres a cross on the system tray :-S.

 

Not sure what norton you have but you don't have to shut norton down just disable its firewall

 

Yes, its permanently off now and I have a wireless access point that can connect anything! I am so pleases that i managed to do it with on help! (apart from the tutorial obviously, what i mean is that i dint have to ask anyone else what things meant). Thank you so much everyone for your help and really thanks you too the tutorial!!!!

 

Anytime, spread the news cheapest wifi out their Thank You Nintendo!!!

I don't have the Nintendo drivers. I can't even run the setup CD because I have XP x64. Everytime I plug it in, it's added under "Other Devices" as Nintendo wi-fi USB connector. I'm beginning to think that I have a newer model or something that isn't detected as a Buffalo Lan adapter.

 

First thing its not that you have xp 64 bit because thats what I'm running. Go into add remove and see if there is a nintendo wifi their if there is remove it then search for any remaining nintendo files and reboot and try the setup again. Let me know if this helps ... See I think whats happened is that xp installed these drivers already off your disc. See untill you remove the nintendo files it will always show as a nintendo wifi

"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click OK to terminat the application."

I got this message when I tried to start up the Control Center after copying the replacement files like the tutorial said.

I'm running Vista and I have a bad feeling that is why.
