Problems connecting DS to router

Last Updated: April 28, 2024

Question: I keep getting an error when trying to sync. How do I connect my DS to the Internet so that I can sync?

Answer: You should be able to sync your game very easily from within the game provided you have your DS connected to a wireless router.

1. Go to any safehouse in the game and click on the laptop with your stylus.  

2. If your DS is not connecting to the nearest router then select the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection setup option.  For more information on this step please visit the official Nintendo© site:

3. Once you have configured your wireless connection, then hit the Sync Stats button within the laptop interface.  You will be able to tell the strength of your connection by the icon that appears in the top right corner of the top screen on the DS.  If it is red then you have no connection.  You should move closer to your wireless router until the icon has full bars and is green.
