what is up guys welcome back to the channel today I'm going to be showing you guys how to get
Nintendo Wi-Fi connection working on your Nintendo DS so you can play Old DS games online in 2023.
now this is a super easy thing to do there are no hacks required and I will show you how to do it on
all three DS types the DS Lite the original DS and the DSi 3DS which both run the same type of Wi-Fi
you can skip to whatever part your DS is at but right now let's go ahead and get into the DS Light
so guys this will work on basically any game that you have I have not found a game that it hasn't
worked on yet I do believe that it works on all of the games that had WFC on it so for me I'm
just going to use Mario Kart DS to show you guys an example but this will go for all WFC games so
guys in whatever game you pick you're going to have a Nintendo WFC section that's what I have
here in Mario Kart so that's what I'm going to go ahead and click then from here I'm going to
go to Nintendo WFC settings and when you get to this screen you're going to go to Nintendo Wi-Fi
connection settings so then you're going to see these three connections if all three are full just
go ahead and erase one it doesn't matter which one and then once you have one slot open you can pick
literally any of them and just go ahead and go on it then we're going to search for an access point
now you'll notice the difference between the red lock and the blue lock this doesn't apply to all
Ds models but on the DS light and original DS your Wi-Fi does need to be web security so that would
be lower than the WPA security if your router is not already like that you can either use a mobile
phone hotspot and just make it open without a password and that will work or you can host a
second Network on your router with web on it the most simple option is just the hotspot and that's
what everyone usually does that is also what I would recommend considering web is not a very
secure standard these days anyway so once you have your router you can go and go on it then
connect to it then we need to go back into this WFC settings page and our connection that we
just made is connection three but yours might be different because you can pick any of these
but that's what mine is so I'm going to go into connection three just wherever you put yours is
where you're going to go to and what we're going to do now is scroll down here to Auto obtain DNS
for this we need to press no and we're going to edit it and this is the DNS you need to put in
167.86.108.126. that's the DNS you need to put in make sure it
is this exactly or else it might not work correctly then you can tap ok
and save it now for the second DNS you don't need to put anything it'll just mirror the
first one so you can leave that as it is then we're going to go ahead and test the connection
if the connection's successful you can go ahead and save it and then leave out of this
so now back in Mario Kart DS I can go up to WFC match and I should be able to get online with
Nintendo Wi-Fi connection so it's connecting right now and I'm just going to go ahead and
go next okay and you can see I'm in the screen where it decides where you want to connect with
someone so I picked worldwide and I can go and click OK you can see it is online with the three
bars and it is searching for someone now I doubt we're going to find anyone at 3am which is what
time it is right now so I'm going to go ahead and move to the original DS and show you how to do it
on there but this is online and you can connect with people on any game after you do this and
here we are on the original DS so I'm going to do the same thing as I did on the DS Lite
here we are in Mario Kart and once again we're going to go into WFC here then into WFC settings
then into this one right here Nintendo Wi-Fi connection settings and you can see I already
have three full connections you probably won't have to deal with that you'll probably have one
open it doesn't matter though if you have and all three of them taken up you can erase any of them
if you need one to erase they're all fun to erase you can use any of them and if any of them are
open or if there's only one open or anything like that you can use literally any of them for this so
I'm just gonna erase number three then I'll go on number three then search for an access point and
once again on these original DS's and DS lights the internet does need to be web or open if it
is WPA2 it's not going to work on these two older DS's that being said you can do either of the two
things that I said earlier which is make an open mobile hotspot that will work perfectly with this
just a no password mobile hotspot and also web on your network will work so I'm just going to use an
open network that I'm going to go through this my connection was successful then we're going to go
back into this then I have connection three here which I just set up then we're going to scroll
down here and you're going to see auto obtain DNS what we need to do is press no and then edit it
and here is the DNS that we want to put in 167 86 108.126 make sure that's the exact DNS you
have or else this might not work correctly then you can go and tap ok then OK again and for the
secondary we're just going to leave that empty so we're going to go ahead and test it make sure it's
working my connection was successful that we're going to save it then we can back out of this
and we're back on this screen I'm going to go to WFC match to test this out if you get any message
like this just go through it and now it will connect to WFC there we go next and you can see
we have the setup here that we need to do in order to play with people so for me I'm just going to
go to worldwide and then you can start searching for people I'm not gonna wait for someone to join
though considering it's 3am and probably barely anyone's on this game in particular but you can
see it is online and working and searching for a player that you can play with so guys this is how
you're going to be able to do it on the DSI or 3DS it's basically the same process on both but
we're going to start by going to the settings then we're going to go to internet settings
connection settings then we'll see we have three connections to choose from just like the other
DS's what we're going to do is pick one of them to overwrite if you already have one open just pick
that one if you don't just erase one I'm going to erase the third one and there you go ahead
and delete it and search for an access point now on the DSi and 3DS you can actually use WPA2 as
long as you're playing a DSi enhanced game so DSi enhanced games for example would be like Pokemon
Black and up Pokemon White and up basically most DS games made after 2008 are going to be
DSi enhanced which means you will not need WEP to use them if you're using a DSI or 3DS which means
you can basically just use them with completely modern internet for me I'm still going to use my
original Network though because it's just what I have on here and go ahead and connect with that
then we're gonna go past this and the connection we just set up whichever
one it is for you go ahead and go into that then change settings then go over here to DNS
we're going to say no on auto obtain DNS then go to detailed setup change the primary DNS
so there's a bunch of zeros in here we can delete all that and the DNS we're going to enter is
167.86.108.126 once you've got that typed out go ahead and tap okay we're going to
leave the secondary DNS empty because it will just mirror the primary so it doesn't make
any difference then tap okay then save it and we can tap OK again and test it
you can see my connection test was successful I'm gonna go ahead and tap OK and get out of the
settings app because we don't need it anymore and after that you can go into whatever DS game that
you were going to use for this for me that is Mario Kart DS and now that we're here we can go
ahead and go into Nintendo WFC this is going to be different depending on what type of game you have
if it's a DSi enhanced game you don't need to mess with it it's already set up and ready to go but
if it's not and Mario Kart DS isn't because it's from 2004 then you'll need to go into the settings
on here once again though if it's a DSi enhanced game it's done you don't need to mess with it it's
already ready to go you can skip this step on DSi enhanced games this is only for games that are not
DSi enhanced like I have here a non-dsinance game we can go into WFC settings then go into Nintendo
Wi-Fi connection settings and you can pick any of these that you have open if you don't have
one open just go ahead and erase it for me I have two open so I'm just going to pick number
two then search for an access point once again on non-dsi enhanced games this does need to be
web or open if you don't have a web router you can easily make an open open network just by using a
mobile hotspot which is actually what I recommend you to do instead of getting a whole rabbit for
it so I'll just go on Nintendo here which is my network that I set up for this then okay and the
connection was successful we can go back into this now go into the connection we just set up scroll
on down and you're going to see auto obtain DNS we need to turn that off and edit the DNS so that's
the DNS you need once you've got it go ahead and tap okay okay again and leave the secondary DNS
empty because it'll just mirror the first one then you can test it my connection was successful and I
can save that now then we get back on out of this and actually try out a match now so we'll go here
let's pass on through all this and wait for it to connect and here we are in the selection area
I'm going to set it to worldwide and it will start surging so this is how you would play
with someone on here online you can see we have a full connection to the network and we're just
waiting for someone to show up to play with so guys that is how you can play Nintendo DS
