Wow thanks for all these responses guys!
Oh and my communication settings haven't been changed at all.
And i did search on nintendo and this (http://goo.gl/kqHz) is specific to my problem.
Now, its not the netgear, or noisy/busy section. i've basically narrowed it down to these possibilities:
- SSID set to default
If the router's SSID is set to the factory default (i.e. the manufacturer's name or "default"), change it to something unique. For example, a favorite baseball player or your last name. For information on how to change this setting, click here and select your router (if available).
-Firewall Info
Your router's firewall may blocking some necessary ports. You may consider adjusting your router's Port Forwarding settings. Each router is unique, so consult the owner's manual for your router or contact the manufacturer for specific information on working with your router's ports. For your information:
You will need to manually assign a new IP address to your Nintendo DS. For step-by-step instructions on how to do this, click here.
If your router prompts for a device or profile name, you can enter anything you like (such as Nintendo DS, etc.).
The starting port to open is 1, the ending port to open is 65535 (or as high as your router will allow).
Protocols will need to be set to UDP only.
Set the IP address for the ports to forward to the same as the DS's static IP.
Now here's the problem. I have no idea what UDP protocol is/does or how to change it, nor do i know if changing my SSID will affect anything/will it affect my other devices like computers.
Oh, and I have no clue how to affect port fowarding nor want to tinkering with my firewall settings without knowing possible consequences.
