yogi_bear Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 My Sky BB is just about to be activated (hopefully tomorow). Anyone have it yet? If so, does it work with the DS? Its a Netgear router, D(something). Hows the connection speed also?
Nintendork Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 In theory any correctly set up wireless network (802.11x) should work with the Nintendo DS system. Providing you're close enough.. the DS can pick up signals from 30 metres plus.. but it can't talk back to the router unless you're about 10 metres within the router. It should work a lot better than those stupid Nintendo dongles which are usb based.
yogi_bear Posted October 4, 2006 Author Posted October 4, 2006 well, i just got it. When i try to connect my DS to it, it says that the security settings do not allow the connection, i think my security is a WPA, i've tried to access the router, but the user name and password doesn't work. Sky have done something to their routers, don't know what though. Help!!!
AshMat Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 I should be getting this soon, but too many people in my area are getting it, so we ahve to wait until they get some more space.
Nintendork Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 DS only supports WEP. Not WPA. There is a thread in the techy bolox forum.
yogi_bear Posted October 4, 2006 Author Posted October 4, 2006 well, i just got it to work. Had to change the WPA to a WEP. If anyone is having problems accessing the router: The password for it is: sky, and username is: admin.
demonmike04 Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 So, sky broadband works with the DS? Fuck yes...
