Tutorial - Make Your Nintendo Wifi USB Connector A SoftAP

First off everyone seems to have problems with the first step which is to install the drivers for the connector. To do this you must extract the folder to the desktop for just ease of finding. Then have the connector pluged in and go to device manager and find the usb connector marked nintendo and click on it and select to install drivers for this. Now all you have to do now is point it to the driver folder you have on your decktop and windows will do the rest, and just like majic it will now show up as the buffalo wifi adaptor. Now go ahead with the rest of the process and make sure in step 5 to copy the rt2500usb.sys file from the directory it says and not from the wifi pack as its not the same file. I'll say this one more time, make sure in step 5 to copy the rt2500usb.sys file from the directory it says and not from the wifi pack as its not the same file. The rest is very easy and the whole thing really should only take 5 to 10 mins. This should help most of you out their as the first step is not that clear as to what to do. Good Luck, WD.

i don't have the same things as you, also in my local area connection advanced tab. all i have is windows firewall. and also whenever i try to start up the asus control center thing it says this word for word: "Unable to connect to the wireless lan card. The tray icon will be loaded once the card is inserted."

im almost 100 percent sure i did everything right you said in the guide "

hello, im new to this site.
i purchased the nintendo wi-fi usb to connect with my PSP since the employee at Best Buy said I can. However, i ran into a problem, and i had to follow the instructions on the first page of this thread. I did everything perfectly, but at the Test Connection, it shows my Internet Connection has failed. I believe it has to do with the input of IP address....

here's my Wi-Fi Connector's information:
IP: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

heres what i put on my PSP manually:
IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Router: 192.168.0.1
Primary DNS: 192.168.0.1
Secondary DNS: 0. 0. 0. 0.

The ip address for the Wi Fi and PSP is suppose to be the same right ?? thanks

 

no the ip can't be the same...

its like mailing a letter...different address...

 

Just let the psp auto detect, the other thing is to make sure the Network Authentication: is set to"Open" and on channel 1.
One last thing you may have to change your connectors ip to one of these's 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.2

WD.

 

i'm on step 6 and i am unable to untick "enable ics". it's greyed out.

 

It has to be ticked anyways carry on

 

ok never mind i fixed it. and i want to thank you so much for posting this here. i can now wirelessly sync my zune and this hack works amazingly. thank you so much for giving me something to do on a day i had to stay home sick from school on.

 

That's great have fun with it and remember most anything can use this port.

WD.

 

I AM NOW PAYING THE PERSON WHO FINDS THE CORRECTIONS $10 TO THEIR PAYPAL ACCOUNT (SIMPLY TELL ME THE CORRECTION ILL TELL YOU IF IT WORKED OR NOT AND TELL ME YOUR PAYPAL ADRESS SO I CAN SEND IT TO YOU)

First off do a search for your network connections and see if you find them

 

One other ? what windows are you running?

 

u know all u have to do is go to wal mart.com and they got device that u can use ur psp on ur pc and that true yall

 

Hey the device is called a router and this is way cooler as its a hack and is simple to setup as to follow the steps....I would say give it a try but for you just go get a router or I'm guessing you already have one but didn't know how to use it!

 

Make sure you follow these steps and then give it a try....

no hacking is wrong but this is a usb connector

 

Does anyone know if this works with Vista x64? I found buffalo drivers for it but I can't get it to install.

 

Vista, well like everything else I'll put my money on NO. I'm getting a new laptop with vista for x-mas so I'll keep you posted.

 

I tried it your way putting it on the desktop, but I still get it asking for the nintendo wifi cd. I'm guessing it's not completely removed, but I removed it in the "add/remove applications" in control panel. Like I said, I've done this before, but I have no idea what to do for this situation.

 

Maybe make a video and pm me and I'll have a look at it
