I just bought Heartgold AND platinum today, and found out my router likes to not be compatible. I've got a netgear FM114P, just wondering has anyone else got problems with wifi? Or if you had problems with wifi, how you overcame it?I've gone through the troubleshooting but I don't know if I should be messing about with the settings (dynamic IP? static IP? I'm too scared if I play around with it my net won't work anymore!) I mean the only reason I bought the games in the first place was to trade and battle with people online. I might have to get one of those Wifi sticks - I heard they're pretty bad as well though. Any computer experts that can help me out? Or can you confirm or deny that the Wifi stick is worth it?
The error I get is that the DS just says "no access point in range," when there is (me posting is message from my computer is proof of that. My desktop is connected to the router wirelessly).
Ps: going to Mcdonalds isnt a solution
Also . . . make sure that if you have your encryption/security set that it is on "WEP", the DS doesn't like WPA. Either manually enter a security code, or have it generate a random one. Then do the WiFi set up on your game. (I recommend against setting your router to no security - anyone can get onto your router, surf then net, and, depending on how you've shared files on your computer, just randomly browse, steal, delete, hack etc . . . all of your files.)
