Tutorial - Make Your Nintendo Wifi USB Connector A SoftAP

Ok I know this is the mst noobiest thing you ever heard but how do you install the Drivers from the .rar folder? I extracted them but there is no install option. Do I have to move them to the desktop or something?

 

Just asking if with this SoftAP hack... can thing like laptops pick up the wifi signal and use the internet? Because im thinking of getting a router but i wont get one is this hack can be used as the router.

 

Simple anwser Yes, is it as good as a router NO!

 

Not to sound like a jerk but go back to page 1 and read, all the anwsers are there.

 

Remove all nintendo software and forget what nintendo says as it doesn't work here. Then go back and read page 1 and follow the steps there and after all that if you have any ?'s then post them as its hard for me to help when you haven't followed the few steps

 

Unless someone is sitting in your living room I wouldn't worry about security as the range is only about 25 feet. I would just unplug it when not in use if your worried or just use the access control in the asus panel.

 

hey My wifi usb connector doesn't appear on the network connection tray and so does the 1394 connection. just my dsl. so what do i do

 

I am using a SMCWPCI-G 54Mbit Wireless PCI for a wireless network from my basic PC connected to Internet to a notebook.

I am using Ad Hoc for the connection, and everything works fine. Yet, as far as I know it is impossible to connect DS or PSP to internet using Ad Hoc, am I right?

Anyway, every time I try to connect DS to internet it tells me "error 51300", e.g wrong wep. BUT, this error appears even if I am trying to connect to a network disabling wep at all...

Second thing is, there is a possibility to setup my PCI card for infrastructure, yet once it is done - nothing is possible to connect to internet, not even a notebook (which is working fine at Ad Hoc).

So I am a bit lost, not to mention that several years ago I connected DS to a notebook with no particular problems. I guess it was a Ad Hoc connection, but I am not sure.

Summing up, anyone tried to connect DS using such card as I have? If it is so, how did you do it???

 

First off you are right you must set up network as a infrastructure, then make the network open. You can run a wep key if you would like just make sure that the devices connecting have been allowed access. The psp and the ds should find the network all by their selfs. If running access control make sure to have copied the mac address of your devices into the control center.
Remember you don't want to connect to your notebook but the router which is supplying the internet.

 

By connection tray do you mean system tray, if so you need to go back and install the drivers...go back to page 1 http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/390312

 

Ok I uninstall the USB driver. Than I plug in the usb and it says new hardware found. So I go to the Control Panal to add or remove. I than click add program once I do it asks me to have the driver on a cd or floppy. Or to use IE to search for it. It doesnt say next or anything what am I doing wrong?

 

Ok I flnally found Add New Hardware. Everything goes smoothly. Until after I press network adapter. Only Microsoft and Nintendo pop up. What did I do wrong?

Ok thank you NT. Also the computer I'm using right now is one of 3 in the house. And the computer connects to a router with a Wireless G USB Network Adapter.
My bro wont let me connect to the router, cause he says it will lag the comps. Do you think I can have the WIFI Buffalo SoftAP and the USB Wireless G Network Adapter running at the same time?
