My wireless stopped working. Help!

[cubewhat]

Hello,
I tried to get my DS to go wireless, but it required a WEP key. I tried to switch it back to a WPA2 setting and now I'm unable to connect wirelessly. Also the other settings do not work as well. What can I do to fix this problem?

WEP has tended to be the generic term for a wireless security key, despite being the least desireable security level to use. You need to set your router to WPA for the DS to be able to "see" and connect to it even though WPA2 would be better. Start with by setting a completely new key.

I tried doing that, but when I tried to connect wirelessly, but I get the message "Windows was unable to connect to my wireless."

If you temporarily and briefly disable wireless security, can it connect then?

I tried disabling the wireless security and I'm still getting that same message? Could it be I changed some settings by mistake?

Okay, so I feel very dumb right now haha. I ended up resetting the router and now everything is working just fine.
Thanks for your time and help!

And I feel dumb for not suggesting it. It's amazing what a restart can make whether it's on a router or a computer.

FWIW, the OP RESET his router and not RESTARTED and the last time I connected a DS to a wireless network, it only supported WEP and not WPA.

Yup I'm glad that I was able to get this fixed haha.
