Hi all, i have the wifi max and a friend was using it and was told that it was pretty much plug and play, but it has been giving me problem till today that i still cant get it setup and use it could some one whom use it or know about how to use it please give me a step by step guide on how to get it working?

Thanks in advance

Erm, I am not that versed in this but most of us have this problem. We did not share the internet connection. Did you share your internet connection?

u need to share ur main internet connection . got 3 option for sharing .. pick the wireless thingy and share ..

if u mean that sharing connection as a few computer sharing one, that is not it, i have 1 pc with the modem (not router) and that its, trying to hook up my wifimax....

no no.

Click your network connection. The 2 pc linking each other and blinking light.

Look for Share connection. Then you will be given choice to share with who. You just select wifimax then

whats wifimax?

can wifi with usb isit? wah lidat i wan buy cos i wan play wifi games at home

just go buy a wireless router, cheaper and more useful

How much is a wireless router?

A compatible one that is cheapest.

@Smash : Wifimax is a USB device used to connect the DS through to internet.

go check in low yat lor... my linksys around 250 plus, wireless plus 4 LAN connection ports...

Thats not really that cheap... But then if you dont have a router its quite a good deal lar...

Well, it is fast... for the 360... i noticed that connection speeds a lot slower for the DS... but most importantly it is convenient and looks kinda cool...
connects straight to the telephone line and that's it. No messy lines anywhere, except for the LAN to my workstation.

for those who doesnt have wireless router BUT already has a wired router/modem of cos Wifi Max is cheaper....(I believe its about RM100).....if u do not have a router at all then Wireless Router is the way to go......

or another solutions is GW-US54Mini2G. However, I have mixed encounter for this product on different machines.

1st time, setup on a PC, til I want 2 smash the PC still can't...

2nd time, on laptop, smooth~smooth. Install, plug and play!

very straight forward installation.

RM70 only at AllIT Hypermart.

Reveur: Yes, i had linked it and even get strong signal when i seek wifi conncetion on my NDS, but then, on the 3rd test on the nds, it failed

it's starting to become extinct, but i managed to purchase a single function 802.11b wireless access point (not a router and/or modem) for around $150.

it's what you connect to an existing router or switch to create an 802.11b wireless network.

have you tried manual connecting ? means set the ip in the nds function.

better u get wifilink .

i think ill get the usb wifi la.. simple n easy.

everyone aggree?

how much is one? what brand good?

I'm using wifilink. It's about RM 100 on Play-Asia (details here). Shouldn't be hard to setup, esp if you are IT savvy.

I've written some blog entries last year regarding using USB WiFi Adapters.

Here are some setup tips on the Nintendo DS (my original blog entry here, check it out for some PC setup tips as well):

1. Set Auto-obtain IP Address to No.
2. Set IP Address to something along the lines of the IP addresses in your network, but of course choose a unique address. In my case, my laptop's IP address is 192.168.1.4 and I set the Nintendo DS's IP address to 192.168.1.9
3. Set the Subnet Mask, which I set to 255.255.255.0.
4. Set the Gateway, which I set to the router's IP address which in this case is 192.168.1.1
5. Set Auto-obtain DNS to No
6. Set the Primary and Secondary DNS to Streamyx's (or your particular ISP of choice) DNS which are 202.188.1.5 and 202.188.0.133
