So, I bought this Nintendo 3DS XL System last Saturday in Singapore. Once I got home, I was excited and tried to setup everything – including the internet – however, my excitement had soon been obliterated as I found out that the internet connection test had failed!
So I searched, and search on solutions to fix this issue, to no avail. I've called Nintendo, they couldn't fix it, I've scoured the forums, they haven't fixed it. Now, I am at my ends with this issue. Please, I beg of you, PLEASE. Help me fix this.
I have a D-Link router model: DIR-820L, I also have the DIR-615 which I've tried and doesn't work – but if you want me to plug that back in again (Yeesh) I'll do it.
802.11 mode is on: Mixed n, g and b. I've already tried only: g and b. I've put TX Rate: 2 and tried everything channel known to man from 1 to 13 (Especially 1 and 11, which are the ones Nintendo recommends).
I have also been able to connect to the internet using an iPhone's hotspot, I did this to update the software to Ver. 8.1.0-19U. I have changed the primary DNS and secondary DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 respectively. I've found every piece of information needed to do a manual connection file, and it. still. doesn't. work.
It can't be a hardware issue – otherwise I couldn't have connected to the personal hotspot – it's definitely something to do with the router. If anyone out there has any idea about the settings needed to connect to the internet with my model of router. Please, tell me.
Thanks in advance to anybody who is willing to help me.
I will update if I find the answer by myself (However, this is unlikely).
