I'm so peeved that my 3DS connects to the internet just fine, but when I try to connect with any of my old DS games, it doesn't work (since they have to have their own connection.) I guess our newer router isn't compatible with them even though I used to connect with them a long time ago stressed I really wanted to trade online with Pokemon Pearl.

Now I remember how fickle the DS used to be about being able to connect to wifi.

you can always create a guest network in your router settings and make the security settings compatible with ds game connection requirements, thats what I did with my router with my 3ds

After much messing with the router I managed to get it in WEP mode, but the laptop won't recognize it so I can't leave it that way.

It doesn't recognize the router or just the WEP code?

It doesn't find the router at all when in that mode. It has to connect wirelessly since the port doesn't work, and it just doesn't find it anymore. At least my DS works. I was just really pissed if I wouldn't be able to use any old DS game online functions.

Thats really weird, if I were physically there I could help a lot more, sorry I couldn't help
