title: Common problems when connecting your 3DS to your router
help-desc: Some troubleshooting steps to connect your 3DS to the Internet
---
- The 3DS needs a 2.4GHz wifi network, not 5GHz.
- Your device and 3DS must be on the same network, on the same band and channel. Mesh networks (Google Home, etc) can _sometimes_ interfere with this.
- The network must have at most WPA2-PSK security - anything on WPA3 won't work.
Advanced tech settings:
- 802.11b/g/n enabled
- WPA2-PSK/Personal (AES / CPMM-128 only)
- The channel must be set to 1, 6 or 11
- width of 20MHz
- must not be restricted to AX-only
- if possible, set PMF (802.11w) to Optional
Known routers incompatible with these settings:
- Xfinity
- Spectrum
If your ISP will not let you change these settings, you have a few options:
- You can try a hotspot. This is not recommended, as it usually results in an unstable connection.
- Alternatively, you can buy a cheap router and use the ISP you already have, like a mesh network.
