How do you get the 3ds to work with school wifi
Here's a quick guide on using the 3DS wifi connection:
- Open the "Settings" software on the 3DS, it has a
wrench icon.
- When opened select "Internet Settings" on the touch
screen.
- Select "Connection Settings", it's the only blue button
on this screen.
- The 3DS can have up to 3 wifi connections saved on it.
It can also connect to Nintendo Zones regardless if it has that
access point's settings saved or not.
- Select "New connection"
- You will then be asked if you want a tutorial or manual
setup, select "Manual Setup".
- Search for the access point that you want to connect
to.
- You will then see a list of access points that are in
range pop up. If your school has a password on their wifi, you will
need that password.
- If the access point is locked with a password enter in
the password, if it's unlocked the 3DS will save its settings with
the security key as "None".
- Your 3DS will then perform a Connection Test, this is
to ensure that your 3DS is capable to connect to the internet with
the settings that it currently has saved. Some schools do have
content filters on their wifi, so if a Red X appears on the
connection test between "Access point" and "Internet", chances are
that the school has a content filter on their
internet.
- If a Red X appears on the connection test between "This
System" and "Access Point" that probably means that you either
entered the password wrong or the access point rejected the
connection.
