Tutorial - Make Your Nintendo Wifi USB Connector A SoftAP

Hi,
I've got a big problem. I downloaded the Video(this one how he install the Nintendo WiFi USB Connector) and wanted to install the Buffalo drivers, but it always tells me that it cannot Update the Hardware drive because the can't find a better that the current one.
I wanted to use my D-Link DWL-G122 as a SoftAP(it's in the List!), need plz help!!!

 

wdclean did you get it to work on vista

 

I've been very busy the last few days but I'm going to try a few things if I have time today or tommorrow.

 

I just can't wait ;P I keep my fingers crossed and hope you'll solve the problem on Windows Failsta.

 

When I try to do this, I cant get any further than setting it to 'Soft AP' mode, it says 'cannot copy driver to system directory'..

so what can i do?

 

Did you copy the file (C:\Program Files\ASUS\WLAN Card Utilities\Driver\WinXP\AP\rt2500usb.sys) to (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers) and make sure to overwrite the existing file?

 

Just to let you know vista is still a no go after a few hours of messing around but I'm going to keep trying and in the mean time I'm going to get someone else on this to.
WD.

 

yo wdclean didja read the pm? got msn?

 

Have you went into your firewall and made sure that asus has been allowed under exceptions, and one other thing make sure your internet access connection is in the box and the ics checked under the softap tab. And yes I got your pm but forgot to reply.
WD.

Just a follow up make sure you have allowed the ds to connect to the network under access control.

 

Hmm, I've done everything you told me to do, yet I'm still getting the error:
"Connected to access point but unable to connect to the server."

Everything is setup fine. I've checked. Five times. What now?

 

Just make me a screen vid and pm me the link and I'll have a look

 

what if it don't work and you want to install the original Nintendo drivers. i uninstalled the ASUS stuff and got rid of the wireless network connection. now everytime that i try to install from the cd it installs as a network connection thing instead of the nintendo registration tool.

 

The only time it dosen't work is if you have vista, if you don't have vista then we can get it to work.

 

i found that it worked perfect if you use the buffalo drivers as stated but rather than using asus i went to the buffalo web site here - http://www.buffalo-technology.com/support/downloads/ then selected Wireless-G keychain usb adaptor then downloaded the Client Manager Utility heres a step by step

1.extract and install Client Manager 3 pretty simply dont even have to restart

2.then launch the program if it doesnt do so its self if its ask to connect to airstation click connect later

3.now right click the tray icon and goto profile then click add choose wireless then choose your profile name, network type should be infrastructure mode then name the ssid (the connection), pick WEP64 ASCII 5-char encryption method, then leave transmition key as 1 and choose an encyptian key (must be 5 characters)

4. find and setup th connection on your wii and other devices

**note i have tested this on windows xp and have connected a nintendo wii & ps3 first attempt with no errors, i am not sure if it works on vista as i donot have vista**

pls reply with any queries as i may not have made it clear

 

Just to let you know buffalo does not support these apps as a law suit is pending, also there are no vista upgrades because of this and further more I heard nintendo has dropped these as well and what stock you find will more then likely be the last. With routers 30 to 40 bucks it only makes since for them to do this. Even if they were 50 bucks the routers speed makes up for that ten fold. So for anyone thinking of buying the usb I highly suggest spending the extra dollars and get a router. You won't be disapointed!!!

 

wd
any luck on vista

 

no1 is sayin that any1 should go n buy the usb adaptor but if you already have 1 and want to get your other consoles online why buy a router wen u can make this work??? there nothing wrong with th speed i use it for online on my ps3 n its perfect, so basicly if your not going to contribute to this thread dont start moaning on about how much routers cost

 

has any1 got it workin on vista

 

If you think the speed is fast enough then thats great but did you know when running two apps on the usb its only as fast as your slowest connection. Also I'm not putting down this hack as I'm one of the experts on this and has helped many people get hooked up. Lastly as of right now it does not work with Vista but I do have hope and help on this problem. One more thing about speed the usb key is just alright were as a router will give you a fast and reliable connection with out your computer having to be the middle man and staying on for it to work. Lastly I still love this usb key and will help all who wish but if your thinking about buying save your money for a router......Case closed!

 

just a question...

if i go through with this usb hack, can i still connect to it useing the simple offical connection tool later on if i wanted to? because im thinking of using the hack to go online with homebrew apps. basicallly im asking if you can undo the hack if you wanted to and go back to normal if you wanted to.
