Answer 1

Well, I have a question, You told ElfaGeek the following
ELFAGEEK IM NOT USEING A ROUTER!!! IM USING A USB!

The USB that you have on your Nintendo, is only one end of the Wifi. So, What are you connecting into? The usb adapter HAS TO CONNECT to a wifi signal from somewhere. If it is not yours then you have a problem because you would be stealing someone else's wifi signal. If they see that they will cut you off! Besides the fact that you are committing crime (called tresspass or worse).

If it is yours, and you do connect to your own system, then you are indeed using a router / access point and you need to review the settings in that router or access point. (That may be your own computer if you are using your computer as an access point, you have to review the IIS -internet connection sharing- settings.)

Answer 2

Do you have WEP or WPA encryption enabled in your router?

To check, access the settings of your wireless router by opening your browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.) and typing in the right IP address, for example:

Linksys, Trendnet IP is http://192.168.1.1
Netgear, D-Link IP is http://192.168.0.1
Belkin, USRobotics IP is http://192.168.2.1

Enter the default or your unique username and password. Then, look for the security settings for your wireless connection and set it to “WPA” or “WPA-PSK, TKIP” and make your own pass phrase. Then, double click on your laptop's wireless connection's icon in the system tray and connect manually to the now "secure wireless network" entering the pass phrase that you set up in the router.

TIP: WEP isn't secure, but is better than nothing.

Still stuck?

Look in the wireless router's manual to learn how to secure your connection, and only then, call the router manufacturer.
