When i first got this 3DS XL, it used to connect to the wifi normally, plug and play, it was around 5 years ago. Now when i try to connect it to any wifi, it just won't work.
I tried to connect both manually and automatically to the wifi, but it won't connect, when it goes through the connection test it fails connecting to the router itself. BUT when i connect to a mobile hotspot, it almost immediatelly works. It connects to the router AND to the internet.
I thought it could maybe be something to do with the hardware, the wifi chip (or whatever the heck is in the console that connects to the internet) is outdated and simply won't work with modern routers. Could this make any sense? I've never seen anyone with the same problem... not even here in the GBAtemp.
Anyway, here's the router specs:
- Security: WPA2-SPK
- Connection type: PPoEv6
- "LAN IPV6": AUTO
- "Prefix LAN IPV6": AUTO
- "DHCP IPV6: Enable
- "DHCP IIPV6 type": AUTO
- "DNS IPV6": AUTO
The DNS IPV6 is blank, there is none it seems... I don't know if any one these informations are useful, but i'll leave it here anyway.
And yes, i followed all of the router specs on the manual IP configuration on the 3DS.
