Nintendo

Wi-Fi USB Connector

If you do not have a wireless access point, you can purchase (subject to

availability) the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector. The Nintendo Wi-Fi USB

Connector is a Nintendo WFC dedicated wireless access point, only for use with a

Nintendo DS or Wii system, that can be installed in a USB port on your PC.

Note: You must be using the Windows

XP or Windows Vista™ operating

system on your PC, with a broadband internet connection, to use the

Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector. (Check support.nintendo.com for the latest

PC driver versions.)

IMPORTANT: Before plugging the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector

into your PC, you MUST first install the software on the CD ROM

included with the USB Connector.

After installing the USB connector on your PC, you will need to use the

Nintendo Wi-Fi Registration Tool to allow your Nintendo DS to communicate with

the USB connector. Follow the instructions included with the connector, or see the

instructions on the next page.

IMPORTANT: Your PC must be ON when registering your DS, or when connecting

up to the USB Connector for Nintendo WFC gameplay.

Follow the GAMEPLAY AT HOME - Wireless Router procedure STEP 1

through STEP 5 on pages 4-5, then follow the instructions below.

STEP 6 On the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection

Setup screen, tap the Connect

to your Nintendo Wi-Fi USB

Connector panel.

If you have installed the USB connector

on your PC, select "OK" to proceed.

STEP 7 You will be prompted to use the Nintendo Wi-Fi Registration Tool

on your PC to grant your DS system permission to access the USB

Connector.

Click on the registration tool icon

in the task bar at the bottom of

your PC screen to start the

Manual Setup

Most users are able to connect successfully using the GAMEPLAY AT HOME -

Wireless Router setup steps found on page 4. Manual setup should only be

attempted if those steps fail.

For help on Manual Setup and information on many common wireless

access points, visit our website at support.nintendo.com.

Manual setup is recommended for users with experience in setting up and

configuring wireless access points and internet connection settings. You

should be familiar with the following terms, as some of this information may

be necessary to complete Manual Setup.

router. Review the documentation for your router to find the default SSID

name. This name can be changed by the user.

WEP – Wired Equivalent Privacy, a standardized encryption process to help

protect information sent over a wireless network.

WEP Key – A password used to encrypt the wireless transfer of data between

a wireless device (the Nintendo DS) and your wireless access point. Both the

access point and the DS must have the same WEP Key. (See Troubleshooting,

pages 21-23, for assistance on finding Wep Keys.)

IP Address – Internet Protocol Address, a unique number used to identify the

devices sending and receiving data over a wireless network.
