Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector Story Pt.1
I had three main reasons for picking up the USB connector – them being:
1.I was getting pretty fed up with connection issues when attempting to visit friend’s towns in Animal Crossing, or trying to put the pedal to the metal in Mario Kart. While Animal Crossing would spit out error messages pertaining to non-existent firewalls, Mario Kart would just keep trying and trying and trying and trying and trying. I figured the USB connector would be the way to go to eradicate both of these situations.
2.Since my wife and I both have a Nintendo DS I wanted us both to be able to play on-line at the same time. Now I admit, I didn’t look into if I can make this happen with my wireless router, I just know I tried it and it didn’t work. I saw the USB connector as an answer to this issue as well.
3.Lastly, I had visions of being able to tote the adapter around in my gadget bag, fire up my laptop anywhere I could get a WiFi signal and jump onto Nintendo’s WiFi service. Now I know this last one is flawed as all get out (if you don’t know why just keep reading), but at the time it sounded like an amazing prospect, and the USB connector was the key I needed to unlock this portable gaming possibility.
As of this writing the USB connector has yet to deliver on any of these. I am STILL unable to connect to a friend of mine from my current location ("It always works at home" _ Wang) yet able to connect with others no problem (both pre and post USB connector). Now I know what you’re thinking, problem must be on his end right? Wrong! I am able to connect to him just fine from other WiFi hotspots – just not the one I spend 90% of my time at.
As far as being able to use more than one DS at a time with the USB connector, I have yet to try. The connector made such a mess of my laptop during the install I’m afraid to try. My genius moment was realizing that my laptop’s WiFi adapter and the USB connector do not play well with each other. No biggie, just disable my laptop’s adapter, plug into to a LAN and the USB connector sings like a bird. Problem is, when I want to undo this. I shut down the Nintendo Software, remove the USB connector, unplug the LAN connection and enable my laptop’s adapter. Then, I wait… and wait and wait and wait. If I’m lucky my laptop will pick up a pitiful signal (I’m about 3 feet from the router). If I’m not lucky the adapter will sputter and die, and nothing I can do will bring it back to life. Try and shutdown, and my poor laptop just dies at a blue screen until I hold in the power button to end its life. Fun, huh?
I’ve tried several times to figure out a workable way around this – and regardless of the variation, the main theme plays out like this: turn laptop on – laptop WiFi is keen, use USB connector – Nintendo WiFi is keen turn off USB connector off – laptop WiFi is mutated to a unrecognizable form. Reboot and repeat as necessary.
I installed the USB connector on my desktop computer, and the damn thing just sailed on through the installation and fired up without a hitch. Still couldn’t get connected to my buddy, but at least I didn’t murder another computer in the process of trying. I was going to return the USB connector, but I think I’ll keep it at this point, and install it for anyone who pisses me off enough.
I called Nintendo’s WiFi hotline, and while Lisa was pleasant and sounded like she generally wanted to help, she had no documentation or information pertaining to my issues. She offered to have a specialist call me back, but I told her I’d rather take my chances with add / remove programs.
I’m debating on throwing together a dedicated Nintendo WiFi box at home with a spare PC I have lying around, but I think I’ll hold off until we buy our new house.
Anyone else experience anything similar with Nintendo’s little USB dongle of death? For the record and you techie types – my laptop is an IBM T42p with an Intel® PRO / Wireless 2200BG adapter.
Forgot to address #3 from my list – my laptop’s wireless adapter interferes with the USB connector, so it must be off in order to use it. I guess I can still use it anywhere I can physically plug my laptop in, but that narrows the playing field quite a bit.

Done with a Sony MHS-TS20K Bloggie Touch – really not bad for a fully automatic minicam in the size of a common cellphone (weight 125 g), without zoom or stabilisation and with no manual settings. The Bloggie is a handsome little fellow, including FullHD video, 8 GB capacity, 12.8 MPx image shooting, in-build USB connector and CMOS sensor. Also the maximum shutter speed 1/4000 s and F2.8 are not just numbers, it really works. I purchased it for making of videos from reenactments, but it will be used more often than that.
