Connecting 3DS to WiFi Requiring Username and Password

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:

1. On your 3DS, go to System Settings.
2. Tap on Internet Settings.
3. Choose a connection slot (e.g., Connection 1).
4. Select 'Search for Access Point' and choose your WiFi network from the list.
5. When prompted for the security key, enter the network's password.
6. Before the 3DS connects, a message saying 'Connection test failed' will appear. Don't worry; this is normal.
7. Go back to the Internet Settings and select the connection slot again.
8. Choose 'Change Settings' and go to page 3.
9. 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
10. 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.
