[edit] Problems
[edit] Can't connect to Access Point with hidden SSID
This is a known issue with many Homebrew Wifi apps. Only fix is to unhide the Access Point's SSID.
[edit] Stuck at "Acquiring host info from DHCP"
Many Homebrew Wifi apps can't connect to Access Points using DHCP. The work around is to use a fixed IP address. (see links above)
[edit] Solutions
[edit] Set your DS to use a fixed IP address
Use a retail game to give your DS a fixed IP address and DNS server rather than using DHCP.
