Likely cause: It appears that the security settings entered into the Nintendo 3DS are not the same as what your wireless router is set to allow.

How to fix: Make sure the security key and security type are entered into the Nintendo DS exactly as they appear in your router's settings.

Follow the instructions here for your netgear settings:

I had the same problem and got it fixed and solved.
I added and deleted the new connection over 10 times with no success; resetted the modem/router (didn't change channel or so because that's way too much of a hardware problem and I was 100% certain it was not the problem).
So, I added the connection, placed the wifi password and tested the connection. It didn't pass. At this point, instead of creating a new connection, I pressed the "change configuration" button.
A new window appeared (with SSID and Type of Security buttons); tap the Type of security, and re-enter the password.
Then, just test the connection again.
That's it!!!!

Worked for me :)
Hope it works for you guys.

How do i get the internet on my 3DS?

The Internet browser is available through the current system update.

Turn on your Nintendo 3DS and access the System Settings by tapping the wrenchicon.

Tap Internet Settings

Tap Connection Settings.

Tap New Connection.

Tap Manual Setup.

Tap Search for Access Point.

The Nintendo 3DS will search for any wireless networks within range. Once it isfinished searching, it will display the names of all the wireless networks itfinds.

Look for your wireless network. (If you're not sure which is yours, or youdon't see any wireless networks)

What to do next will depend on the "lock" icon you see next to yournetwork on the Nintendo 3DS. Click the image below that matches the lock iconyou see on the screen of your Nintendo 3DS.

Why cant i get online with my nintendo 3ds? it keaps telling me to go to this web cite "Support.nintendo.com" but i never find anything that can help.

That's the generic message that will pop up whenever you're having problems. As far as connecting to the internet on the 3DS, I'm not certain if you mean the connection or the ability to browse the web, so here's how to do both:

To connect to the internet in general on the 3DS, 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. 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!

If you were referring to browsing the web, however, normally you will just tap the globe icon on the main menu (in the upper right). If you get an error message talking about internet coming in a later update, you will need to update your system. Here's how:

1. Make sure you're connected to the internet (as described above) and go into System Settings.
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.

Hope this helps, but if any of these steps are going wrong, please just say the word :)

I"ve been trying to connect

Hello barudewunmi
This is most likely an issue with your router, even a simple change on the router such as the name can cause this error. More then likely I'd say it has to do with the security. Your 3ds is not compatible with "WPA" security, try disabling the security on the router briefly to test this idea. Do not however leave security off, change it to "WEP" which is supported.
If that did not work for you also set to broadcast in mixed mode.
The following is a link for the settings to change on your 3ds, as well as other helpful information. http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/wfc/en_na/ds/results.jsp?error_code=051099&system=DS&locale=en_US
I hope that these steps have solved your problem, good luck.

How to put internet on nintendo 3DS

The 3DS basically, can already connect to the internet as long as you have connection to WiFi. But if you want to browse using your 3DS, Do these: System Settings > Other Settings > Tap on 4 > System Update > Enter your PIN code > Tap on OK when you have internet connection > I Accept > Plug AC adapter (Optional) > Wait.
After waiting, You'll get the Nintendo eShop and the Internet browser. Reminder: YouTube, Other media can't be played or downloaded, Facebook chat is not available.

When I try to online it says 'no compatible access point in range. Check your connection settings and try again.''for help,visit support.nintendo.com.' error code:51099

If that error code is for a Nintendo 3DS then :

Likely cause: It appears that the settings entered into the Nintendo 3DS are not compatible, or the router's broadcast settings should be changed.

How to fix: Try creating a new connection with your system. As this error code indicates a problem while connecting with a Nintendo DS game, it's important to make sure you've created a separate connection
