Is the 3DS any easier to connect to the internet?
Every time I try with my DS or DSi it's a massive pain to have to change router settings, retype passwords etc. Why do they make it so damn difficult? I just want to be able to properly utilise all the features in X and Y.

I've never hooked a wii up to the internet, is it just as easy as plugging in your wifi password without having to use shitty security settings?

I've had issues time and time again with my launch DS and DSi connecting to the internet.

Got a 3DS when Fire Emblem came out, have had absolutely no problems at all connecting to the internet.

So yes.

Yes its a ton easier.

3DS actually accepts WPA2 passwords and such. Main reason i never connected my DS to the net was the fact that I had to configure the router and turn off password protection every time I wanted to.

3DS is a lot more wifi capable.

Yes.

3DS Internet is a dream.

Mario Kart 7 internet play is so easy it just makes me happy thinking about it. You connect to the internet with absolutely no fuss at all.

Going online on X/Y is going to be so easy.

DSi can use WPA2 if you use Advanced Settings.

Can you use the internet features of a DS game with a 3DS?

It is when you have to change from one security type to another, then your computer won't connect to it any more because you need to edit security measures then reset the router because you still can't get it to work. Having to mess around going to WEP is completely unnecessary and a massive pain.

This.

I had to downgrade my wireless security type for my fucking DS. For a company who's supposed to be on the cutting edge of technology, Nintendo really fucked this up.

The DS lite was released in 2006, just a bit after WPA encryption became popular. The DSi supports WAP btw. Stop being a poorfag and buy a 3DS.

I'm pissed because I can't do any trading on my Black 2. I got a new router and it's WPA-2 only and it's push-to-connect (can't change it or else it stops working). I'm waiting until X and Y to trade again, because my 3DS's internet works fine but DS games don't understand it.

I think it's because it's push-to-connect. Maybe it's because it's an XL. All I know is my DS games worked on my old router but now they don't.

Your old router was either not secured or used WEP.
WPA2 is standard now and is what most routers will default to.

Gen V can take advantage of the settings, but Gen IV can't.

No, my old one was WPA. Gen IV never worked, but Gen V did. Gen V now doesn't work at all, but my 3DS and 3DS games work with it fine. I think it might be the push-to-connect, but I don't feel like messing with it too much in case I fuck up.

DS games on the 3DS, yes. I can't connect to my WPA router on White using my DS, but I can with my 3DS. The game doesn't know the difference in the router security, it's only the system that matters.

I still can't connect by DSi to WPA. Why can't it just work like any laptop or smart phone, insert password and that's it.
