Total RAM, unless I've been misreading things for years.

[Gwolfski]

Ok thanks!

No, it WORKED on campus but not at the house?

Ah, yes I see.

I appreciate the basics. ^.^

Yes and yes. On campus, I was able to connect to their WiFi and I haven't turned it off on the 3DS

Do they use WEP-Enterprise authentication? If so, then no, the 3DS does not work with WEP-Enterprise authentication.

I had to change my router at home for similar issues, but in reverse, for my Wii. Authentications are not all supported across all devices and all wifi.

I live in the west of nowhere, so I don't need avwifi password

[TheBiggerFish]

You should have a password.

[Gwolfski]

Why? No point. Sheep dont use wifi.

[Akura]

What network are you trying to connect to, exactly? The home network(which generally requires a security key provided by your ISP) or an open wifi access point managed by your ISP(for example Optimum maintains many hotspots all named "optimumwifi"). The first one should be a fairly simple matter that the 3DS' own setup wizard should be able to walk you through. The latter is a bit more complicated, requiring you to register your 3DS' MAC address to your service account, and it might be different depending on the service provider.

It would likely have to be the latter case. I recall that on campus I had to first register the device with the IT Department (providing them with the MAC Address) before I was able to accomplish anything.

In this case, the second would definitely be a bit of a hassle, as I am currently at my uncles as opposed to off on my own. Because of that, I am a bit leary of playing around with their Wi-Fi which might be for the best. That said... Are there any good ways of getting around Wi-Fi entirely? Or at cir-

Wait. Holy shit, I actually got it work somehow. I've no clue what I actually did different, other than it's finally decided to work.

Probably not going to question it. Thank you guys for your help! I appreciate it!

[Aklyon]

You generally don't need to actually mess around with wifis as far as I've seen very recently: Most people's houses I was at recently have the defaults labelled on the router, in a way that suggests its been there since the ISP gave them the device.

[TheBiggerFish]

Honestly, routers are strange beasts.  They do what they want.  Simply pray that its fickle nature does not turn against you.

And try rebooting.

(There is always the network troubleshooter.)

Routers are less arcane than printers, but only because routers have findable settings menus if you ask google enough.
Printers will just do whatever they feel like sometimes, including print black text with the empty color ink cartridge instead of the full black one and leave you with illegible pages.

Or throw a fault that requires rebooting the computer. Not the printer. Oh no. power cycling the printer does nothing. Canceling the print job does nothing. You have to restart your computer because you couldn't feed the printer more paper in less than 5 seconds.

[chaotic skies]

Or, better yet, they occasioanally decide to coat all printable areas on the paper in black ink! Then flip the paper! And repeat! I ran out of ink because I didn't notice >.>

[Gwolfski]

My printer refuses to print half the time. Or if it runs out of yellow. Maybe putting it next to the old, broken printer didn't help. .

Get a Samsung black-only laser printer. They're pretty much bomb-proof from a reliability standpoint. Ask it to print and it does.
