Tutorial - Make Your Nintendo Wifi USB Connector A SoftAP

Just to make sure the file go's here...
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers

 

Yep - it's there. Recopied it again to be sure, no change.

 

Your sure that the usb hub your trying is working, maybe try another one as it seems like everything is fine to this point and maybe something on the windows side is screwing you around, check to make sure the usbs are funtioning

 

Before I try and make this work, since everyone seems to have some problem, is there a way to uninstall/remove everything done to the USB so that it can be used as a Nintendo Wi-Fi again?

 

No problem...just to make this point as this is really not a hack but a way of letting the nintendo connector go back to being it self again and thats a buffalo connector....

 

I was asking mainly because I installed it and it didn't work...
My Wii could find it, but not connect to the internet on it
So I just want it to be a Wii connector again as it worked when it was

 

you more then likely have to do a little tweaking...here's a setup that should work

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 course 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.

 

u mean where it says my name and then i click it at the beginning on bootup? yeah im on that..

 

Unless you know how to fix this, I reaaaally would just like to know how to make it a Nintendo USB again

 

Look at my setup a few posts earlier. What you have to do is change the ip address of the connector.

Now right-click on the Wireless Network Connection and click Properties. In the middle of the dialog there will be some protocols, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then open the properties for that. Windows would have assigned a static IP address if ICS was successfully enabled, check to make sure this IP address does not conflict with other IP addresses on your network. Also, it should be on a different subnet to the Local Area Connection (for example, my computer's IP address is 192.168.0.2, I assigned the wireless network connection the IP address of 192.168.1.1 - which is on a different subnet). If it is on the same subnet, ICS will not work correctly.

 

it is trying to set the IP address to the same as your router...like

192.168.0.1 router
192.168.0.1 NWC not gonna work...

try changing to 192.168.1.1

 

Where do I do that?

 

Maybe if everyone could just read the instuctions on the first page or the included text file with the drivers they would see how easy it really is.

 

I can't give you any more help then I have already

 

Oh sorry I skipped your post when you explained it...
I read the instructions on the front page but it confused me so I was just following the video...
Could my problem also be that I am not using the computer with the router?
Because if I change the IP Address of my Wireless Network connection, my computer just semi-freezes

I made the Wireless Netowrk Connection 192.168.1.2
My IP is apparently 220.237.53.32

 

Yes im signed in as an admin and thats when u first log on and u select ur side of the computer and like click ur name and type a password in if you have one right? if its that then yes i am

 

Explain what you mean Could my problem also be that I am not using the computer with the router?

 

One computer has a router which connects the computer to the net.
I'm not on that one.
I am on a computer in the other side of the house conneted to the other computer for ICS.
I don't know if that would be a problem, thats all...

The tray icon will be loaded once the card is inserted."

Everytime I try to install the driver, it tell me to insert the nintendo wifi cd. I've removed the program, and searched for nin files and found nothing? What can I do to fix this?!? I've done this entire process before with no problems and now am confused. Please help.
