You need to go into the setting on your 3DS and perform a system update. From the home menu, select system settings. Then select other settings. Go all the way to the right and select system update. Follow the instructions from here and your 3DS will be updated and ready to get online!

Tye internet browser will be enabied iatr through a system upate for details, visit

It is giving you this message because your 3DS needs to update in order to have access to the internet browser. Here's how to update:

1. Make sure you're connected to the internet and go into System Settings. If you need help with this portion, look down below past the update instructions.
2. Go to "Other Settings"
3. Select "System Update".

If you received a 3DS that was boxed prior to Nintendo's recent update, it will not have the internet browser pre-installed, and this should fix the issue.

To connect to the internet in general on the 3DS (required to update and browse the web), you're going to need to have a wireless connection. Usually this would come from a router purchased at your residence, but it is also possible to go to a public WiFi hotspot and connect using that as well if you either do not have a home internet connection or do not own a wireless router. In order to connect to the wireless network once you have one in range:

1. Start up the 3DS and select "System Settings" from the main menu
2. Go into "Internet Settings"
3. Select "New Connection"
4. Select "Manual Setup"
5. Select "Search for Access Point"
6. After your 3DS brings up a list of all available wireless networks, select yours from the list and enter your wireless password (if applicable).
7. Test the connection, and away you go!

I cant get on the e-store

The eShop is not pre-packaged on many of the older 3DS handhelds and you're going to need to update your system in order to gain access to it.

1. Make sure you're connected to the internet and go into System Settings.
2. Go to "Other Settings"
3. Select "System Update".

After completing the system update, Nintendo eShop should appear on your main menu. If you don't have an internet connection, however, this is not going to work and you will need to connect to a wireless network.

I have a nintendo 3DS and I want to know how to use the internet on it. I have the internet wi-fi connections set but when I tap the internet logo on the touch screen on the 3DS a message appears and says...

OK, first of all you'll need an internet connection yourself.
Click the options menu and go to "other" (The orange one). Scroll along until you find "system update". Connect to wi-fi and update the system, DO NOT stop it once it's begun as it could harm your data.
Once the system is up to date, click on the blue globe in the top left of the main menu, et voila.
All you really need to do is update the system, so once you've done that all you need is to be near your wi-fi connection and you'll be fine.
Hope this helps, even if it is a little long winded =P
(NOTE: It won't be able to play videos like on youtube for some reason or other... nothing you can do but wait and see if Nintendo will update browsing capacity...)
