Help!! !
I need to be able to make work my wi-fi connection with my DS Lite before 10th april, but I don't know how. My network got a security that the DS can't get through, and if I configure another connexion the DS say there is a error 51300.
Anyone can help me?

Turn off your network security, or use WEP. Nintendo were inexperienced in developing for online platforms at the time of DS Lite development, thus never worked out how to implement WPA security until the DSi.

This reminds me, I have never once in my 4 years of DSerry been able to connect to the internet. :(

Where do I go to turn off the network security and to use WEP? I don't know where to go to setting the connection, unless I make a new that don't work.

You need access to the wireless router settings, often somewhere like http://192.168.1.1, and possibly the router password.

A Nintendo DS can only connect if the router has no security or WEP security, and will not connect to any version of WPA. Whatever passphrase or key you configure on the router needs to be copied to the DS.

The router must also be configured to permit low-speed (11 Mb/s) connections. This may also slow other wireless connections on some routers.

Oh yes, I forgot about that. I remember when I wanted to play on WiFI I ended up just buying the Nintendo WiFi connector and setting it up on my netbook nearby, saving myself the headaches of all that fiddling.
