Open Speedify and connect to a server (usually the closest will be best).

Download and install Connectify Hotspot and Speedify on your Windows laptop or PC.

So, getting back to solving connectivity issues on your Nintendo 3DS – if you’re on a strict NAT type 3 network, here are the steps you should take:

All VPN traffic goes through predefined ports that are open. A VPN makes it impossible for the Internet service provider to see what your traffic is about and impose port restrictions. The simplest way to do this is by using a fast bonding VPN such as Speedify. In this case, in order to get a moderate NAT type 2, you’ll have to bypass the port restrictions on these networks. This usually is the case when connecting from campus WiFi, office networks, public WiFi networks etc. Sometimes the Internet connection you’re trying to connect your Nintendo 3DS to restricts available ports to a strict NAT type 3. Still having issues? Then it’s time for a universal fix – the Connectify Hotspot virtual router software app for Windows computers! If you’re trying to connect your 3DS on a restricted WiFi network – e.g.

Reboot your Nintendo 3DS – that can help sometimes, especially after performing firmware updates.

Check the WiFi network our 3DS is connecting to – make sure it’s yours or a public one that you use on other devices.

Also, WPA2-PSK (TKIP) security for your WiFi password is not supported by the new Nintendo 3DS XL.

Check the wireless settings if you have access to the WiFi router: your Nintendo 3DS only supports 2.4 GHz frequency networks with 802.11b/g modes.

Double check the hotspot password you may want to delete the connection information for your current WiFi connection and reenter it.

Get closer to the WiFi hotspot – your 3DS may not be getting enough signal to connect.
