Windows 7 doesn't like Nintendo Wifi usb >:C
14 years ago
General
Don't be weird. Thanks.
So, because I actually don't have anything like a ROUTER or uh, even an internet company to get online with (doh ho ho) I got dis here Nintendo WiFi USB which worked VERY WELL with XP.
Now, they stopped making these things, as we all know.
There are no new drivers past XP/Vista.
So, these are the problems I am having with this on Windows 7:
Start set up, go to plug in USB and the application starts anyway before I have the USB in. When this happens, I get a "plug in the wifi" then an application error.
Second thing is it'll run like it's suppose to, but then it reaches the Setting up Internet Connection Sharing, I get Internet connection sharing error (4)
The first issue is happening more often than the second.
Now, this is LEAPS and BOUNDS from what I was experiencing when I was first trying to install this. Which was, it didn't even know what the wifi device was. Now it has a name in the computer management window, but it fails to instal the drivers.
I've tried manually loading the drivers, but no dice.
I've tried some alternatives, but it got me nowhere.
Today, by chance, it started giving me the issues I had when I was using it for XP. Which was easily fixed by opening up the access with my alfa router.
But now I'm not sure how to go about this. I've done google searches, but nothing is Gelya similar to the issues I am having.
Anyone got any other ideas? Or refer me to a usb wifi access point that isn't such a finicky bitch? D:

I wonder if its even compatible with 7? Sorry I guess I don't have any tips because I don't use mine anymore.
i still have another one though that was bitchy as hell, I gave you the good one XD
It wanted the usb to be a router instead of an access point. So yeah. I'll tweak around with that some more.
