Wi-Fi problem

Metroidhunter · 09-15-2007, 05:26 PM

I play online with my DS a lot, and to do this, I use a Wi-Fi USB dongle (AN LM Technologies one) and I have had no problems with it.

Today, when attempting to play online, any attempt to connect to a game disconnected me from Wi-Fi, and if anybody attempted to connect to me, they got disconnected.
When trying to fix this problem, I went to my network connections menu and deleted the "Internet (1)" connection, in an attempt to force my PC to find a new connection method, thinking that it would simply be recreated.

When I reinstalled AOL and successfully managed to get online, "Internet (1)" did not come back. I need it to be able to get online with WiFi (normally, I would just open up the properties, enable sharing, tell it to connect through my DSL modem and enable DHCP).

I can't find a way to bring it back myself, any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.

have you tried reseting your router?

If you have a wireless router then try running the DS using its internal wi-fi system. I've never had problems with that.
