So, you’re holding your Nintendo DS, eager to jump into some online multiplayer action or perhaps download some cool stuff, but you’re stuck asking yourself, “How do I connect this to WiFi?” Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered.
Quick Steps to Connect your DS to WiFi
Getting your Nintendo DS connected to WiFi is simpler than you might think. First, make sure you’re within range of a wireless router or hotspot. Your DS can’t link up to the internet without a WiFi signal!
Next, turn on your Nintendo DS and head over to the system’s settings by tapping on the tiny wrench icon. Choose the ‘Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Settings’ option and tap on one of the empty connection files. Here, select ‘Search for an Access Point’. Your DS will scan for any available networks. Once it finds yours, select it, enter the WiFi password if necessary, and voila! You’re connected and ready to play games online, download content, and more.
