[QUOTE="FAST6191, post: 10131872, member: 32303"] It gets worse than that as well. Some routers even back in the day when they were all 802.11b and maybe a draft G if you went looking really hard would not work despite having nominally the right settings, never got any info on what they might have been doing wrong to upset the DS (not that most would have been able to do anything about it outside of hacking them) but was a thing. The DS hardware only speaks 2.4GHz (5GHz and now some even higher stuff being around, but it was a while before things jumped to that so many things will still have legacy modes, albeit with the potential speed drop problems I mentioned) so that is mandatory. It only supported WEP encryption or none (no WPA or anything later other than the DSi and smattering of things capable of taking advantage of that, mac filtering mentioned before being a router level thing so play that as you will) with none/open network sometimes being better than WEP on the same router. The DS is also speed locked but that does not really bother things in this discussion. What different routers call modes that enable those settings can vary, assuming they even provide them any more ("for security reasons" taking out many options for such things, sometimes even in software updates). It will usually be in and around guest network or wireless settings. I have seen legacy things bundled as something 802.11b/a/g (wireless a being a business focused thing most will have never seen) or b/g/n in some setup, whether some include ac nowadays in such a conglomeration I don't know but would not be surprised. Some of those setups can tilt it more towards excluding b type wireless but such things will tend to be noted when they do. To this end I return to visit said tat shop, flea market, yard sale, old people that hoard stuff or whatever to find whatever vintage options there are (hopefully if it is an old ISP one you can slap it hard enough to play nicely with other routers, in the US at the time I tended to find a bit less of that than Europe) and wire it in with a network cable, or possibly see if you can get a PC going on with either an old wireless card (wired into router or second wireless card to do actual internet/network things, could also use a PC as a bridge for the old router to go into the network port it has and onwards over wifi if you wanted) or maybe with enough incantations and tongue at the right angle one of the super rare Nintendo things for it (which they dropped support for I think possibly before Vista came out).

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
