The DS is a hand held video game console developed and sold by Nintendo.

Connecting to the network

Please visit and enter your MAC address in the provided field. You will do this with all video game consoles.

Does 鶹Ƶ use MAC filtering?

Yes. This is why you need to find your MAC address and call the Technology Helpline.

Finding your MAC address

  1. Insert a Wifi-enabled game into the DS.
  2. In the game's menu, go to connection set up.
  3. In connection set up, go to "Options," then "System Settings." The Mac address is displayed on the top line.

NOTE: If you are playing a local wireless game with friends (connecting directly to other DS's in close proximity), you will not need to connect to the 鶹Ƶ network.

Wired or Wireless

If you do not have the Nintendo USB Connector, you will most likely be using your wireless connection.
