Hello, ive been having issues downloading games off of the Nintendo eshop on my 3DS system. Everytime I tap the "Tap here to purchase" button, it freezes, gives me the error code, and sends me to the support site.

But ah, thats not the whole problem.

Following the steps on the support site for this particular error code, I get stuck on the 3rd step, "Scroll down and select "Location Settings."" When I select the "Location Settings" button, it loads for a second, then freezes, causing the forced quit of the application and restarting my system. It has done this at least 4 times now. Please help! I dont want to be stuck with this problem for any longer than I have to! ;__;

Thank you very much!

P.S. I have been using a different internet connection than I am used to using, but im not sure if that matters if it wont let me change the location settings. Though if it does, please let me know.

-My DS lite used to connect to my old modem/router. I have a new 2wire 3600HGV modem/router with at&t uverse.

-I switched from WPA to WEP-Shared. It's on channel 11. I entered the WEP Key correctly. (Believe me I did it about 15 separate times; and after changing the settings I reconnected my iPhone using the same WEP Key I was using on my DS lite. My iPhone is connected to the internet. No problems). I keep getting the Error Code: 51300. Also, I was standing directly next to my modem/router while trying to connect. I even turned off my phone and left it in another room in case it was interfering.

-What can I do to make it work? (I don't want to buy a USB connector for something I should be able to do for no extra money). I just want to access the Pokemon GTS.

I have only seen one disscussion of this error and it wasn't in the same context, so I'm asking you guys know.

Yesterday I got my first 3DS, and I set up my internet. All fine and dandy. It worked just fine then, and I was able to play Animal Crossing New Leaf with my friends. In the morning though it would no longer connect. It keeps giving me the 003-1099 error, and no matter how much I try to fix it, even following the guides given on connectiong, nothing seems to work.

My sisters are also having this problem.

Can someone help? Thank you.

Hi,

I am new here on the forums, and I really want to play Pokémon White online.
I have a Nintendo DSi in my possesion, since today, but it doesn't go online.

I do have a stable internet connection (ADSL, Cable 20Mbits)
My Router is a TP-Link WPA2 TL-WR841N, and I don't want to go back to the WEP stuff.
I have connection 4 all set up, and at times I do get an error, but after trying to test again, it succeeds.
The wifi thing in the right corner (below) turns green for a while, but at times I get the error 052010-1
When I try to test again, it succeeds and I get a support code and then the screen is gone.
Then I try to test the internet, and it works since it finds Google.

I also know that Pokémon Black and White are compatible with the DSi.

When I connect my system to WiFi, it succeeds the test, but when I want to play the game online, it says

"please configure your connection settings under the Internet option in the System Settings"

For help, visit support.nintendo.com"

But I know for a fact that my SSID and password are fine, 'cause I'm connected with my laptop and my phone aswell.
I've also read some options about the WEP thing, but as stated above, I don't want to use WEP, so are there any ways to go around that?

Version: 1.4.4E

If you need more information, feel free to ask...

     My problem: I had trouble connecting my DS lite to our new Xfinity wifi router model number TC8305C. The error code 51300 would display upon an attempt to connect to my WiFi. I changed the security to WEP, but that didn't help. I took the security off all together, but that didn't help either.

     My solution: Change the protocol from 802.11 G/N to 802.11 B/G/N on the router. To do that go to your router's edit page by typing in http://10.0.0.1, sign in using your username and password (if you have not made a password yet it should be Usernam: admin and Password: password), click the "Connection" tab on the left column to open its sub categories, click the "WiFi" tab in the subcategory, click the "Edit" tab on the right, change the mode from 802.11 G/N to 802.11 B/G/N, and click "Save Settings" at the bottom.

Hello,

This incidient started yesterday when I got a new buffalo router. How it starts is I have the blue original nintendo ds. Everyday I play pokemon white on it and go on the wifi. I never had a problem at all until I got this new router. My router is a Buffalo N600. Here is the specs. http://buffalotech.com/mobile/wireless-dual-n600.html  Just like before, I set the router to WEP to allow the DS and 3DS to connect to it, which it did just perfectly. I decided to go on the DS with my pokemon game. I go on the wifi and it kept giving the error 52000, 52001, 52101. How it looks before I get the error is that the wifi is green for a long time then it  blinks red then green then red and fails. Looking it up, I followed every instruction. I configured my internet connection on the DS manually, automatically and AOSS. Still nothing. I decided to go on the 3DS. I recently played Animal Crossing on it and was able to go on the internet just fine. I configure the DS internet on the 3DS and it connected just fine. I go on Pokemon white on my 3ds and go on the wifi through there. Sadly, it gave me the same error of 52000, 52001 and 52101. I could not understand how both the ds could not connect.

Trying another method I ruled out my router because it works, I ruled out the DS and 3DS because it works so I assumed it was my pokemon White. I then use my pokemon Soul Silver in my blue ds and attempt to connect to the wifi. To my surprise, it worked. It allowed it to connect to the internet though the settings and then allowed me to go to pokemon wifi. I quickly put pokemon white after getting off Pokemon SoulSilver and it allowed me to go on the wifi.

I thought the problem was over but it wasnt when I tried to access Pokemon White again later on in the day. It gave me the same error. I did the same trick which I go on the wifi through pokemon soul silver then quickly get out of the game and put pokemon White and it works. That was the only way it works.

My question is how can I get this fix and how did this happen? There didnt look like there was any problem before the router was change and I didnt touch the pokemon white until I changed the router info on the ds.

For a while now I've been trying to get my Wild World game to connect to my home internet.  Out of curiosity, I finally caved and set the security to WEP-Shared instead of WEP-Open.  Voila, it connected, even though I've read other posts on these forums that say WEP-Open works just fine.  That's apparently not the case for Wild World.

I know that WEP has a lot of security issues, but that Open is a little more secure than Shared, so I would like to stick with Open if it all possible.

Do I have any options, or am I going to have to just suck it up and switch to Shared?

Thank you very much!

PS - My router is a 2wire.  Also, I really hope my post makes sense.  If you need anything verified, don't hesitate to tell me!

Ok i gave my friend a dsi but i completely forgot the parental controls code how can i fix this problem

I have a dsi.

So Im trying to visit other towns on animal crossing and it says I have to register my WFC settings, or something like that. The point is it connects to my wifi regularly, but when I try to connect to WFC it wont work. Ill walk you through my problem.

I go to the regular dsi settings

I go to the Internet setup

Now I test my connection AND IT WORKS!!!!

HOWEVER, I go to my Animal Crossing game, go to the gate to visit new towns and it says I must register to WFC, so I click okay and it goes here:

I press the blue box and it takes me here to test my connection

***NOTE: THESE ARE THE SAME EXACT SETTINGS AS THE ONES ON MY DSI INTERNET SETTINGS. THE SSID AND WEP ARE EXACTLY THE SAME!!

THE NAME OF MY ROUTER IS CORRECT! MY WEP IS 100% CORRECT! EVERYTHING IS CORRECT!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT IT STILL WONT LET ME CONNECT!

The error code is #51300.  And I searched it up on the site and ive followed all the steps (which dont seem to be doing anything because I dont think it understands my problem) and nothing will work.

ANY IDEAS?!

Im 100% sure everything is the same and correct Ive checked 10000000000 times. It works fine on my normal DSI settings, and I can go on the browser and stuff but the WFC connection wont work as it cannot find an access point. I really want to visit other towns so please anyone, I know its pretty lenghty, BUT PLEASE HELP ME!

Thank you x

So i have recieved Error Code 001-0804 saying my 3DS cannot connect to the server. The thing is, is that ive connected to this access point (at my house) all the time and my internet connection has always worked fine. But now it says i cant connect to the server, so i cant see if my friends are online, i cant connect through animal crossing or anything. Ive tried creating a new connection but its doing the same thing. How do i fix this????

*Also i noticed that up in the left corner where it tells you the connection it only says Enabled. Not Internet in Blue like it should. I try connecting to my wifi and it will go blue then when its connecting to the internet it will go back to Enabled in beige.

Hi everyone. I'm using a 3DS to play Pokemon Soul Silver and I wanted to get my friend code to play online. I'm connected to the Internet from my 3DS, but it still says I need to connect to the Internet to get my friend code. How do I get my friend code?

When the latest update to the 3DS came I went ahead and downloaded it with no problems and went ahead and tried the new streetpass stuff (Incidentally it looks great). But now my 3DS can't access my router anymore. I've had this 3DS for about four months now and since Day 1 internet access with this router has been no issue, it has served as my main router and hasn't had a single problem with my 3DS before this. I download this latest update and now I have no internet access anymore.

The error code I keep receiving is: 003-1101 or in other words, unable to connect to the access point. I know my internet works fine since every other device, including the laptop I'm typing this on, run just fine with no internet troubles. I've already tried turning the system on/off, resetting the wireless via the little switch, resetting the router, and re-entering the settings multiple times to see if that would help. None of it did. I keep getting the same error. Other than this though my 3DS seems to run just fine.

I've got a NetGear WNDR3700v2 and am having a heck of a time getting connected to my 3DS friends list. I called Nintendo and we tried basically everything - forwarding all the ports, turning off the SPI firewall, putting the 3DS in the DMZ, using a static IP, different DNS, all of these in combination, you name it. I'm using the latest firmware (36) and it's connected to a Motorola SB5101 cable modem, and my ISP is Shaw.

Anyone had any luck with a similar configuration?

The particularly weird thing is that I don't have any issues getting a connection in general, or connecting to the eShop - I just downloaded a game without any problem.

2WIRE (info for Nintendo DS systems)

Router models included here:

• 2700HG-E
• 1701HG
• other 2WIRE routers (models not specified)

2700HG-E

Question:  I have got into the settings and changed to channel 11 - I have WEP-Open with Encryption as WEP - I'm still getting Error Code 52032
Resolution: Changing the WEP security from WEP-Open to WEP-Shared should work. Keep in mind that when you change this setting, you will need to reset the WEP security on all other wireless devices that connect to your 2Wire router.

1701HG
Question:  My 2wire router is a 1701hg wireless router and every time I try to go online with my DS (I'm about 2ft from the router) I can’t connect and I get this Error Code: 51301
Resolution: You need to switch your WEP Authentication to "Shared."

2Wire (not specified)
Question:  I currently have two Wii console's in my apartment - One being mine and the other my friend's. I ran into an issue though and it appears only one Wii console can connect successfully at a time because if I connect them both the connection on online games such as Brawl will time out causing a disconnection. I have looked at the various pages on this site for information regarding this, but haven't found much information at this time.
Resolution: Just wanted to give an update on this situation. I have now resolved the issue by changing the wireless speed settings from 52Mbps to 24Mbps and now both systems will connect online successfully. In addition, I also changed my other settings to G/B Mixed instead of wireless G as this was also conflicting with my online gaming.

Question:  I have been try for so long to connect my Nintendo DS to my new router (2Wire) and it is making me so mad. I have been trying to play Mario Kart Ds, and it says error code 51300
Resolution: You will need the change the WEP authentication type from "open" to "shared", but will then need to change any other wireless device that uses that access point to "shared".

Question:  My access point, which is a 2Wire, RARELY shows up when I search for an access point. I was really lucky when I was online for 10 minutes last week. The thing is, it doesn't have a bad range. It has two bars, a green status. It doesn't make sense to me, since it shows up only occasionally and not all the time. My router is always connected to the internet.
Resolution:  I would recommend changing the channel the router is broadcasting on. I would try channel 1 and if that doesn’t work, trying channel 11.
Whoa, I've switched it and it's showing up all the time and I haven’t been kicked off yet. Thanks!

Question:  The router is 2Wire and it's WEP protected. When I search for an access point it says the access point's security settings are not supported by the DS. When I try to connect through manual setup I get the 51300 error code. Any help?
Resolution: I suggest changing your WEP key to the "shared" option. The DS has a hard time connecting to 2wire routers unless the WEP is shared. Also continue trying the manual setup.

Question:  So a few days ago my Wii stopped working for my router. When I try to connect to it after inputting the WEP key, it keeps giving me the error code 51330, 51331, and 51332; it also does this when I manually input all of the settings.
Resolution: Try disabling the WEP key, if the system connects, then try enabling security again. You may also wish to reset your 2WIRE modem/router by holding the reset button the back for up to 10 seconds. My friend has had a problem similar to this with his PCs not connecting wirelessly and upon doing this, the problem was resolved. Also, unplugging and plugging the 2WIRE system after 10 seconds have passed may resolve the issue too. In addition, I would strongly suggest using WPA encryption as it is harder to hack than WEP.

Question:  I recently got a new 2Wire router. I had another 2Wire router before, but it recently stopped working. I had all of my settings set up correctly and I was able to get online on my DS, but now those settings don't work and I don't know what to enter in for the manual settings. I have the SSID and the WEP key entered, but I still can't get a connection.
Resolution: You need to change your WEP-Key to WEP-Shared in the control panels of your 2Wire router.

Question:  I have a DS Lite and a 2Wire wireless router/modem combo.  The router/modem is set to WEP encryption with a custom passphrase. There is just one catch. The DS Lite doesn't accept custom passphrases, only WEP Keys. Since the 2Wire router/modem does not tell you what key it generates based on the passphrase you give it, I tried to replicate the key using WEP key generators online, but I haven't had any success, as the DS Lite wasn't able to connect. Has anyone else had this problem with the 2wire modem and custom passphrases? I honestly don't want to switch back to the factory default key, but if I cant figure this out, it looks like I may have to do that.
Resolution: Since there is no way to recover the key at this point, you have two options:
     1. You may generate a new key based on a passphrase, and then use that new key on all of your     wireless devices, the Nintendo DS Lite included.
     2. You may switch to the default key and use that key with all of your wireless devices, the     Nintendo DS Lite included.
Please don't attempt this unless you are wired directly to the router (to prevent yourself from getting disconnected wirelessly from your own router) and keep in mind that all the devices on your network will have to be updated should you decide to change the key.

Question:  I’m trying to connect new DSi to internet through AT&T broadband router by 2wire.  I am able to access internet through Wii and laptop using WPA2-PSK (AES) using same modem.  However, I am unable to connect DSi, either through AOSS or manual setup.  AOSS does not detect any access points at all, and manual setup gives error code 051099-1, "No access point in range."  The DSi and router are inches apart and still can't detect an access point.
Resolution:  I went into my router settings, and changed it to WEP from WPA2-PSK (AES), and it corrected this problem... http://home/ that should get you into your router settings, any other info you need is on the back of the 2wire router.  Of course, once this is done, you'll have to re-setup everything... funny thing was, once I got the DSi online, a new "advanced" setting appeared, and allowed me to choose WPA2 as a security setting... not sure if I just missed that the first time or not... In order to play DS games online, WEP security is needed (make sure its set to SHARED instead of OPEN for 2wires). If you want to only use the DSi browser and online store, then, that will work with WPA.

Question:  I can connect to the Internet Browser and Shop fine, but when I try to connect to games it doesn't work. I’m using a DSi and Wireless
Resolution: DSi browser, DSi Shop, and DSi games and applications downloaded from the DSi Shop that is Wi-Fi Connection compatible could use either WEP, WPA or no security.  Regular DS games can only use WEP or no security.

Question:  I am using a 2Wire wireless router with Windows Vista. My Wii finds my router but when I do the connection check I get code 52030.
Resolution: Ensure your router is on channel 1 or 11, make sure your broadcasting in 802.11b/g mixed mode, make sure MAC filtering is disabled, if it’s not then disable it or add your Wii's MAC address to the permission list. If all this fails then you should try setting the connection up manually on the Wii.

Question:  Wondering if anyone could help with my dilemma? I have 2 DS Lites trying 2 get connected to wireless. One or the other will connect but not both at the same time. Router shows that they are both in the users list, I have entered both MAC addresses. As long as I only have one on Wi-Fi I’m good too go. Second one just says no connection available. Is there another setting that I'm missing?  
Resolution:  Now after several hrs of testing the only resolution I have found is in the router settings, is that if I put my WEP settings from "open" to "shared."

Hi!

As the title says i can't connect my dsi to my wifi network in games (shop and browser works well)

I heard that my router has to have the WEP security instead of WAP but even if i change that my ds still won't detect my network and if i try to configure everything manually an error appears during the connection test (051099-2).

I tried everything, changing channel, 802.11 mode, beacon period, dtim, rts and frag threshold but nothing works, i have absolutely no idea what to do.

This is my router: ZTE ZXV10 W300

Here are some pics of my router configurations:

My router detect my ds like for 3 seconds and then the error appears

Hope you can help me fixing this problem, cya

Ok, I've decided to bring my DS back into the gaming world. We had gotten a new router so the internet was removed from my DS. Now, I've tried to do a manual set up (Search for access point doesnt work) but I have some trouble.

SSID - I have

WEP Key - I have

Auto-obtain IP Address is at No

IP Address - I have

Subnet Mask - I have

Gateway - I have

Auto-Obtain dns is at No

Primary DNS - Cant find

Secondary DNS - Cant find

I have tried to go through my internet connection properties and do the 'Add a new DNS address.' but no matter what I put, it always tells me its invalid. No matter what I put in.

I have tried (MANY times) using the classic /ipconfig/all command at the CMD but all of my information there literally has everything but the DNS Address. It literakky does not exist on my computer yet its the one thing preventing me from getting n my Wifi

If you need something explained more, please ask

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum, and I was really wondering if I could get some help. I've had a DS Lite for a long time, and a few months ago, we got a new wireless router from AT&T, and now my DS won't connect to it. A laptop I had wouldn't connect either, because it needed an update, and I was wondering if that was the problem with the DS also. Does it need an update to connect to the router? Or can I connect it to my computer with a wire to make it work? Is there any way I can work around this/fix this problem? Thanks in advance!

I was trying to connect to my Wi-Fi (Bell) on my Pokemon Diamond. I was able to properly able to connect to my previous Wi-Fi. But with my new Wi-Fi, when I enter the network security key, it says that "These settings are invalid." I also tried to enter the WEP code on my router, but that didn't work either.

Can someone tell me what are the possible problems and how I can possibly fix this?

Hey,

We've been trying in vain for several days now to get my Son's DS lite online.  He bought the Japanese version of Black to try and get the mystery gift Shiny Raiquaza before April 16th.

He has a 3DS as well, so he'd never really tried to get the DSlite online before now.  So it's giving us the Error 51300.  My router is Netgear WNR1000v2, V1.1.2.50.  It's currently set at WPA2-PSK [AES].

We've tried the following.

Turning security options completely off the router... still giving us same error code.

Went to a public free Wi-Fi place, same thing.

Went to our local GameStop to see if those guys could help... they suggested trying to see if the router had the DS's MAC address allowed and if not putting it in.  So I did that... nothing... But I am not sure if I did that part correctly.

He spent almost $70 on the Japan game so any help would be much appreciated.  Thank You!
