After some research, the problem might be the wireless network adapter driver. The windows 10 version has an issue for some reason, but switching to a windows 8 version should solve the issue. Now I just have to figure out how to do that.
| RaptorChrist said: I bought a new WiFi adapter for my PC just a month ago, in fact. I had a weird issue where my adapter came with an extra USB plug extender that could be used as a mount, of sorts. For some reason when plugging it in through that mount, it didn't work, but once I instead plugged it into the USB slot directly, it worked. Just a shot in the dark, I suppose, but if you have a Windows PC/laptop, I can't imagine that there are any compatibility problems. It's also possible that you need to put the disk in the computer to install any dependencies that it requires. If you have your wired connection instead, it can probably be done without the disk. |
Yeah it's windows 10 and I made sure the usb adapter was compatible with it. My laptop has no disk drive, but I don't think the issue is the adapter itself. It installed and was working to the point my 3DS could see it and attempt to connect with it. Using command prompt I could check if my laptop would allow internet sharing and the answer was nope.
