Cannot connect to wifi with DS

Hi everyone, just wandered into this forum in my random search for an answer to my problem. I have never been able to connect to my Netgear WGR614 with my DS even though I have complete access to the router's settings and my DS gets a full amount of bars when it attempts to establish a connection with my router. I even went to far as to RESERVE an IP address through my router's settings by inputting my DS's mac address. However NOTHING WORKS!!! WHY?!?!? Nothing that is on Nintendo's website has completely helped and I doubt if I call any Nintendo representative will be able to understand why, because this seriously makes no sense. The error code I have memorized now, 52101 and I cannot understand for the love of god why this won't work. I feel completely cheated in the money spent on this DS because its wireless "features" are COMPLETELY useless. Someone please help I am very computer literate, but this has me completely baffled.  

*meant: SO far ... btw someone please help D: bump

Get the fuck out of my 4chan.

Is there no one that knows how to solve this? /: I thought 4chan would be filled with computer literate people.

4chan is filled with underaged faggots.

Now gtfo.

Have you checked to see if you have the right ports open on your router?

Try McDonalds.

Did you set your router to only broadcast in b or g? I forget which the DS uses, but try having your router broadcast both.

Ports closed seems to be the issue here. Google for the ports used by the WFC, and try to open them in your router's admin panel.

Thanks for the real replies. I finally figured out the problem, apparently the router was set to not allow connections from MAC addresses it didn't already know. All I had to do was configure it to allow the MAC address for the DS I had. I'm a little more knowledgeable about networking from all the research I put into this! Haha.

1. Do you use encryption? If yes, is it WPA? If yes, turn it off.
2. Is your router wireless b or wireless b capable? The DS can't use 802.11g
3. Forward you ports.

If it still doesn't work, throw away your router.

Thanks for the post Anonymous, I solved the problem. :) I was just silly and didn't realize that my router wasn't accepting MAC addresses it didn't already know.
