Sorry, wrong section of this forum. Try asking this question in the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection section of the Nintendo Forums.

1. Work on your spelling/grammar. It's near impossible to read.
2. You're don't want to get close to your modem, you want to get close to your router, that's what the DS looks for.

You can take the error code and enter it on the Wi-Fi website, or you can call their number and they'll help you fix it. I called in and now it's fixed for me.

"yes i did thanks...but wats a router....couse when i was settin up to play wifi it already said all the informatioin in my ds all i did was put in the wep code that was on the bottem of my modem for sbc and it said 2wire495 and when i went to test connection it says it cant find an acces point.....theres a way in my computer that it says that i can create an acces point...should i try to do that??"
You don't know much about Wi-Fi, do you? If you read any of the manuals that come with Wi-Fi games, you'd know that you need a wireless router or a USB connector to access Nintendo Wi-Fi.

I got a Wii!
Ok, I have a question, now i have broadband i can use WIFI except i dotn have wireless Broadband, but i bought a starter kit for my DS and this cable that connects to the computer and starts charging the DS came with it.....Is that the WiFi connector cable?
Let me try to help here. please pay careful attention when reading as this may get a little complicated. A router is a piece of networking equipment that allows 2 or more networks to talk to eachother. Inherantly and originally, routers did not have Wi-Fi funtionality in them. Today, most routers are sold as a dual model of router and wireless access point. When your DS is looking for a Wi-Fi connection it is not looking for a router, it is looking for an access point. As said, access points tend to be part of routers now, but it is an important thing to remember that they are not always one and the same.
shady1415, it sounds like your problem is that your modem has a built in router, but not a built in wireless access point. What you'll likely need to do is either pick up the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB adapter or pick up a wireless access point to get your network running Wi-Fi.
Tetsusaigas WindScar!, Your post seems to reference to the USB charging cable you can occasionally find. this will not help you in any way in an attempt to get your DS online. I'm not sure I understand the bit about having Wi-Fi but not having wireless broadband. Does this mean you have an existing Wi-Fi access point in your home connected to a broadband internet connection? There is wireless internet service, but that's not quite what we're discussing here. if you can elaborate I can try to help you further.
