Setup using Search for Access Point

NOTE: You will not be able to search for and configure access points that use WPA2-PSK(TKIP) security. If you know the name of your wireless network (also known as an access point), and aren’t using Wi-Fi Protected Setup or AOSS to configure your system, follow these steps:

If you are using the guided setup Tutorial and selected No/I don’t know, proceed to step 2.

1Tap Search for Access Point.

2Tap the name of your wireless network to select it.

3Enter a password, code, or key if required.

A screen will be displayed if your access point has security settings configured. You must enter the security password for the access point for your system to be able to connect to it. This may also be called an encryption key or network password on your wireless network setup.

For information on accessing and locating the security settings on your router, refer to the user manual for your router.

4Tap OK to save the settings.

5Tap OK to run a connection test.

If the connection test succeeds, setup is complete. NOTE: If the connection test fails and an error code is displayed, follow the instructions displayed in the error message, or visit support.nintendo.com and use the Error Code Lookup tool for information on resolving the error.
