Have you followed Wafflenator's guide?

@gunthor16. THIS is the technical support section, replying with a link to Nintendo's support site is the least helpful response you could possibly give.

Id consider it the same thing, they both lead to the same place.. >_< does it matter how you get there?

So you're suggesting we delete this section and have a link to their site instead?

It makes a big difference because there are plenty of very helpful people here who can fix problems that you can't get instant support for on Nintendo's page. But I can put your suggestion to remove our tech section forward if you like...

That happens to be a workaround for that individual's particular instance and they need to reinstall the TCP stack for Windows because it's corrupted, so that's not the "solution".

Im saying that the section that is stickied by that w-person... that has online wii trouble directs you straight to the nintendo support page.... it did for me atleast....& you cant post on that thread with you problems. But Im not worried about it. Im sure he got what he needed & thats all that mattered.

Does your Connector have a Password? If not, that's the reason your DS won't connect. I don't know about the Wii though.

**Wafflenator** · 09-30-2008, 08:06 PM

The Connector does not deem any passwords. It is a simple program that only finds Wii/Ds (and PSP, if you know what I mean ._.). Like hill mentioned, check out my guide in my siggy.

EDIT: Error Code 52140 means that the Wii/DS cannot find the Wi-fi USB Connector. Just try unplugging it and plugging it back in. This usually works.
