How do you get the internet on this my says no compatible access point in range check your connection setting under internet opion and try again error code 051099

Move closer to your access point and verify that there are not any firewalls on your network. If this doesn't work, try starting the connection process again from scratch. If doing these things don't help, contact customer support.

You can only connect to internet if someone is sharing their Wifi. If it is password protected, you won't have any luck. You're best off heading to Starbucks or McDonalds for free Wifi to connect to the internet.

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

If it tells you there is no compatible access point in range, then you are not near an access point. The liberty card must require you to be connected to the internet, and if you have no wireless internet in your residence, then it will not work. An easy fix is to head to a common fast food restaurant, most nowadays offer free Wi-Fi.

This is a problem with the security settings . To do what you were doing when the error code appeared, change your security type to WEP, or disable security

The nintendo dsi needs a wireless router transmitting in MIXED mode, meaning that it transmits using B mode as well as G or for newer routers N mode. If it is setup to transmit in G or N only, then the DSI will not detect it.

Also, the DSI is not compatible with WPA security. You need to set up a weaker WEP security code or turn off wifi security altogether.

Also, make sure the router is broadcasting the SSID name which is the name of the wireless router.

Hi

Please check whether the below point will be helpful.

• The DHCP settings of the access point and DS dont appear to be compatible.
• Please check the DHCP settings of your router and try again.
• If you have multiple connection files saved to your DS the error message you received can help determine which connection file may be experiencing a problem you error code says problem with connection file 2 .Please check

first you need to set up your Connection Settings under "Internet" in the System Settings Menu. Then you need to either "Search for an Access Point", in which your system will search for a nearby Wi-Fi hotspot, or choose "AOSS". When "Searching for an Access Point" turns up results, they'll be accompanied by a padlock icon that either shows as being locked (the WEP access code is needed) or unlocked (free access). If you're trying to set up access to an AOSS-compatable access point, then you'll need to press the AOSS button on the access point until it flashes.

you need to go into the "wifi settings" menu in after the title screen and scan for an access point. once you have one and save it, try to connect again
