Why isnt my 3ds connecting to wifi ;-;

[piercedhorizon]

I cant get it to connect.
Ive tried;
Reconnecting
Deleting adding again
Turn off/on

Is because I TTed, does it matte what day/time it is?

have you updated your ds lately? i know there was a recent update. maybe it could be due to just bad wifi connection too.

Yeah, I just did yesterday! the wifi works on my computer & everything.
It might just be dead ;-;
Ive had since a while, for years actually. Its like the fire red version.

resetted router?
checked that 3ds supports encryption type?
wifi network isn't too busy? (too many devices connected at once)
tried WPS push-button connection?
tried connecting to other networks to see if it's only your wifi or a problem with the 3ds?
tried replacing your router if it's old/weak? (this fixed it for me)

I had a similar problem and found out that for some reason my Wifi only works when I'm *very* close to my router. I'm not sure why but I think it has something to do with the system itself, not to mention my 3DS is extremely busted with only the touch screen and speakers working.

Your problem could also potentially be fixed by simply resetting your router(if you haven't done that yet that is). I would suggest calling Nintendo and see if you need a repair and if you do then you can either do that or buy a new system like I'm planning to do.

Hopefully this doesn't mean my problem is similar to yours and you would have to send your system to repairs.

Yeah, I can confirm that environment problem, if it's that. It only works in certain room/distances where I live, like if I sit in my bed it works but not further away in the living room etc. and if there are obstacles that might prevent it as well. But yeah try all above, and if you have the latest update make sure you didn't fiddle with the internet since it might maybe tick it as pirate when connecting?

It can mess even if... I remember I tried with my old DS Lite at my grandma's cause she was the only one having a WEP connection and nope.. but then again environment was bad there so no surprise really lol.

Did you get an error code by any chance?
