Connecting Your 3DS to WiFi with Username and Password
If you're trying to connect your Nintendo 3DS to a WiFi network that requires a username and password, you may face some challenges as the 3DS doesn't support this type of authentication directly. However, there is a way to work around this limitation.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
- On your 3DS, go to System Settings.
- Tap on Internet Settings.
- Choose a connection slot (e.g., Connection 1).
- Select 'Search for Access Point' and choose your WiFi network from the list.
- When prompted for the security key, enter the network's password.
- Before the 3DS connects, a message saying 'Connection test failed' will appear. Don't worry; this is normal.
- Go back to the Internet Settings and select the connection slot again.
- Choose 'Change Settings' and go to page 3.
- Change the DNS setting to 'Don't Auto-Obtain' and enter the following DNS addresses: Primary DNS - 008.008.008.008, Secondary DNS - 008.008.004.004
- Save the settings and try connecting to the WiFi network again. This time, it should work.
By following these steps, you should be able to connect your 3DS to a WiFi network that requires a username and password.
