I have the Samsung a50, most devices including my 3ds connect fine but my dsl lite won't. If I move my sim card to my motorola phone, the ds lite can connect. So I think the problem is with my phone.
Full articleNintendo Support said:WEP Key is a security setting for your router. WEP is the only security that is compatible with the Nintendo DS Wi-Fi Connection. You will need to set your router for WEP security -- or remove security on your router -- to use the Nintendo DS at this access point.
Is it giving you any errors? are your dns settings correct?I'm not using any security, it's just an unsecured and open hotspot.
The DS also only works with 802.11b so if your phone is using G or newer the DS won't be able to connect (G, N, AC, etc are all too new)I'm not using any security, it's just an unsecured and open hotspot.

Edit: wait, you mentioned if you move your sim card it'll connect. Do you have a data plan on that sim card?

Right now, its giving me error code 51301. I do have a data plan, and I'm just using the default dns.
Are you actually managing to connect to the internet or is it just passing the test? it could be that when you don't have the sim in, it passes the test, but when it's in, it actually tries to connect but without the especific dns settings for altwifi, you can't connect.
Starting out of @Pk11's reply I checked what specifications the A50 supports and indeed there are more than just 802.11b. While the phone does support 802.11b, due to how the Android hotspot settings lack any advanced options you can't really specify which specification it should use and it likely defaults to the best one.Bump.
Did you ever figure this out?It's not passing the test or connecting at all. When I try and add the hotspot, my DS sees the hotspot. But when it performs a connection test, it fails and gives an error.
