A D-Link G604T Wireless router? If so, one thing to make sure of is that it's set to wireless. On my router there was an option to 'broadcast', which wasn't switched on by default. If your router is similar then that might be the problem. Broadcast needs to be on.

In what way isn't it working? Is it saying connection error? Unable to connect to server? No access point in range?

Anything like that? It might help us to narrow down where the problem lies.

it's saying: Error Code: 51099 Unable to find a compatible access point. my one's probably different because, mine doesn't sayanything about broadcasting. i'm pretty ure that it has Wi-Fi because on the side, it says Wi-Fi compatible

thank you though

One other thing you need to check is to see what kind of security is being employed by the router. If you are using anything other than a WEP key (which, by the way, is the least secured you can make it without having absolutely no security whatsoever), you won't be able to use it as your Wi-Fi spot for the DS. I learned this the hard way after lots of tinkering around with the only wireless router we have in the house.

i'm gonna revive this, as it follows on anyway, right, i have bought a micronet wireless LAN USB adapter (SP907GK) and i don't know how to connect it up to Wi-Fi for my nintendo DS. I was looking aroud for it in one of the shops and asked a staff if they had a USB Wi-Fi connector and he pointed to this. Ya see, i think he was wrong beacue googling this, i found absouloutely no topics or results for this with both phrases. And as you can imagine, pretty peeved off, so ANY help is appreciated again.

Just googled it, looks like it should work. Simply set it up with a simple WEP key and have it broadcast its SSID. Only plug it in when you want to worry about using the Wi-Fi and you should be good to go. You should be able to see all the information you need to have set up with a manual connection setup on D/P.
