I'm trying to connect my Nintendo DS Lite to my Airport Express. The DS recognizes the network, but it won't connect because it doesn't support WPA connections, and I don't feel comfortable changing the settings on the Wifi or the router

Question

I'm trying to connect my Nintendo DS Lite to my Airport Express. The DS recognizes the network, but it won't connect because it doesn't support WPA connections, and I don't feel comfortable changing the settings on the Wifi or the router

I'm trying to connect my Nintendo DS Lite to my Airport Express. The DS recognizes the network, but it won't connect because it doesn't support WPA connections, and I don't feel comfortable changing the settings on the Wifi or the router. Is there some kind of alternative.

Yes, I know my DS is at least three models behind. I've been meaning to get a 3DS or 2DS. It just hasn't happened yet.

No, unless you use a wired connection.

Can you explain? I think I understand what you mean, but I'm not positive. The funny thing is, however, is that I have an Airport Express at home (I'm at college now) and it works fine.

The AirPort Express version would need to be a model number A1264 or A1392 and have an available Ethernet port to use....and....the Nintendo would have to have an Ethernet port.

An Ethernet cable would connect the two devices.

Well that *****...I'll just forget about it then. Stupid DS is three models behind and doesn't even have an ethernet port. Thanks anyway.
