That must suck...
I do feel your pain here, as I've been really frustrated over that fact that I had no means of accessing wi-fi several months ago.
Around a couple of years ago, I had to rely on my half-sister in order to transfer Pokemon in between my Diamond & Pearl games, & once I've gotten my Platinum game, I've had intentions to get some of my Diamond Pokemon onto that, only to find out that she lost her DS, which I've gotten for her 36th birthday, thank you very much. At first, I thought that it's no big issue, that I can get someone from around here to help with the transfer. Sure enough, one of my friends from around here stepped up to the plate, which meant that I have to check to see if I can still access it from there. Then, another issue comes: her router's security system is incompatible with my DS.
As it turns out, my half-sister was having issues with people stealing her internet, which I've learned that they can do that from miles away! So she ended up securing it in order to prevent that, but it also effectively keeps my DS offline. Upon find this out, I've gotten frustrated to the point that I would most likely strangle someone, but by some miracle, I didn't. Instead, I thought that I would get a wireless router for myself, seeing as to how my brother has moved out of his room & the fact that I've now claimed that as my own, & the fact that this room has internet access. I've got my own money & my own friggin' credit card, & thus I went online & carefully chosen my router.
Afterward, I've basically started praying to god over two things, that it actually gets delivered safely to me, & once it did, it allows my DS to access it. In early December, it did make it toward my house, & after a few moments in "The Thinker" position, I've now gotten my DS online, & once I did I've shouted, "THANK YOU GOD!!" knowing that it's all over & done with.
*gasps for air* that was a mouthful...
