Re: we have an error code 51310 for wifi! Can you
Error
Code: 51310
Our experience has
shown that this error message is typically caused by WEP Key issues.
Please read the following information:
- Check Nintendo's router info for special notes, if available, for
your router.
- Click here to go to our Wireless Router
Configuration page.
- Use the drop-down box on the left to select, if available, your
router manufacturer.
- Click on your router's model number, if available.
- Read any "special notes" at the top of the router's page. Many
issues can be solved by changing settings described in the "special
notes."
- Are you using WEP security on your router?
- Log into the router using the default IP (consult your router's
manual for assistance)
- If you are using 64-bit encryption, the WEP Key must be a
10-character key consisting of numbers or letters A through F.
- The WEP key is case sensitive, so be sure to enter it exactly as it
appears.
- If you are using 128-bit encryption, the WEP Key must be a
26-character key consisting of numbers or letters A through F.
- The WEP Key must be a Hexadecimal (1-9, A-F, no other special
characters or letters).
- Verify they are using the WEP Key in the first (#1) slot. Even
though your router may have multiple slots, the Nintendo DS is only
compatible with the WEP Key in slot #1.
- Check to see if your router is using MAC filtering.
- Log into the router using the default IP.
- Find the section for MAC Filtering (typically under "Security").
- If MAC Filtering is on ("enabled"), enter the Nintendo DS’s MAC
address to the list of approved MAC address. For info on locating the
DS’s MAC address, click here.
For instructions on how to find the MAC address for Nintendo DSi or
Nintendo DSi XL, click
here.
(For assistance with locating the MAC Filtering section of your router's
setup tool, please consult the router's manual or contact the
manufacturer.)
- When using connection files 1,2, or 3 on any Nintendo DS
system:Check to see if your router is set to "g only" mode. In
order to work with the Nintendo DS, the router must be set to "mixed" or
"b and g".
