INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installing the Software
NOTE: You may have to temporarily turn off your firewall BEFORE beginning
installation. Be sure to turn it back on when installation is complete.
1. Start up your PC and load the CD ROM into the PC's CD-ROM drive.
2. An installation window will appear on your PC screen, as shown. Click
"OK" to begin installation.
3. Select a language and click "OK" to proceed.
4. When directed to do so, insert the Nintendo USB Connector into the USB
port on your PC. NOTE: When communicating with a Wii system, if you
see an error window relating to a high speed USB device in a low speed
USB connection, you will need to use another USB port (not a USB hub),
or a port that uses USB 2.0. If communicating with a Nintendo DS, you
may ignore this and proceed.
5. The necessary files will automatically be installed after the USB connector
is plugged into the PC. To complete the installation process, you
must grant permission to your system. See page 6.

Granting Permission To Your Nintendo DS or Wii System
In the task bar at the bottom of the PC screen there will be an icon to start
the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector registration tool. This tool is used to set
permission for individual systems to communicate with the USB connector.
You will use this tool during Wi-Fi compatible game setup when you first
configure your system to connect up to the USB connector.
1. Double-click on the Registration Tool icon in the Windows XP task bar, as
shown above. The Registration Tool window will open (see illustration,
page 7).
2. Insert a Nintendo WFC compatible game into your Nintendo DS or Wii
and turn the power on. Go to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Setup utility
and in the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Settings screen, select Connect
to your Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector.
3. The registration tool window will show a list of names of any systems that
are attempting to connect to the USB connector. Click on the name of
your system and select "Grant permission to connect."
After configuration, the Nintendo DS or Wii system will ask to run a
connection test. Select "OK" to begin test. If the test is successful, your system
is ready for online gameplay. See the instruction booklet for the game you
are playing for more online gameplay information.
If the test is unsuccessful, you will be given an error code and instructions
to help resolve setup problems.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
After you have configured your Nintendo DS or Wii to communicate with
the USB connector, observe the following wireless signal strength guidelines:
During wireless communication setup or gameplay, an icon will appear on
the upper or lower Nintendo DS displays showing the signal strength of the
wireless signal. The icon has four modes depending on the signal strength:
For optimal communication, keep the signal strength at 2 or 3 by moving
closer to the USB connector if necessary.
Follow these guidelines to maintain a strong signal:
• Keep the maximum distance between systems and the USB connector at
30 feet (10 meters) or less.
• Reorienting the DS or Wii console to the USB connector may boost the signal.
• Avoid having people or other obstructions between the DS or Wii console
and the USB connector.
•
Avoid interference from other devices. If communication
seems to be
affected by other devices (wireless LAN, microwave ovens, cordless
devices, computers), move to another location if possible or turn off the
interfering device.
If you have trouble installing or operating this device, please check following
before calling for service:
• After software installation, your Nintendo DS or Wii must be registered with the
USB connector. Review pages 6-7, Granting Permission To Your Nintendo DS or
Wii System, to make sure it is registered correctly.
• Verify that your internet connection is working properly.
• Your PC must be on and running the Windows XP operating system.
• You must be using a Nintendo DS game that includes the Nintendo Wi-Fi
Connection feature.
• Check that the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector and/or USB Cable connections
are securely inserted into the USB port.
• No more than five Nintendo DS or Wii systems can communicate with the USB
connector at one time.
• Some games may have a maximum number of players. Check to see if the
maximum number of players has been exceeded.
• If you have changed your internet settings, you may have to reinstall the
software for this USB Connector.
If this device still does not operate correctly after trying the above remedies,
please visit our website at www.nintendowifi.com (USA, Canada, and Latin
America) or call Nintendo's Customer Service at 1-800-895-1672 (USA and
