1. If you need to, log off AOL. Click on the Start button (bottom left corner) then ‘Internet Explorer’. This should go straight to the AOL homepage.

2. In the address bar, type ‘http://192.168.0.1

3. When the name and password box appears, type ‘admin’ for the username and ‘password’ for the password. This gets you into the router’s setup.

4. Everything should be easy now.
You need to click on Wireless Settings, then make a note of the network name (SSID)…if there isn’t one, then put one in, anything will do, and make a note of it. Make sure that ‘Enable Wireless Access Point’ is checked, change the security option to WEP (this is the only one the DS supports), then scroll down to where it says WEP Key.

5. Make a note of the code next to ‘Key 1′. If there aren’t any key codes there, then type something in the ‘passphrase’ box (anything will do, but try to remember it!) then click on ‘Generate’, which generates WEP Key codes. Then make a note of the code next to ‘Key 1′ as I said before.

6. Click on ‘Apply’ to change your settings.

7. In the box on the left hand side of the screen, scroll down to ‘Set Password’ and change the password from ‘password’ to something a little more secure. I’d recommend this!

8. Again in the box on the left, scroll down to ‘Logout’ and click on it. Then close Internet Explorer.

9. On your DS, start the Wi Fi enabled game. Go into Nintendo Wi Fi Connection Settings, then any one of the connections (1, 2, or 3) settings.

10. Put in the SSID that you noted earlier from the router (your network name).

11. Put in the WEP Key code that you noted earlier from the router.

12. That’s it! Tap on ‘Test Connection’ and it should work! It’s now ready to use.

For extra security, you can go back into the router’s settings and restrict the router to only accept wireless devices with certain MAC addresses (go into ‘Wirelesss Settings’, then ‘Wireless Station Access List’. You can find out the DS’s MAC address by going into the Nintendo Wi-Fi Setup screen, then’Options’.

Hope that helps! Any problems, feel free to email me at tromadogg@aol.com
