Ok, I have good connectivity to NWC. I notice however that I have a hard times connecting to players sometimes and cannot connect to certain friends ever. I did some digging and found the tcp ports necessary for using wifi. All udp ports should be enabled as well. For some odd reason, netgear routers have udp and tcp ports tied together. So, in order for me to enable all udp ports I have to open all tcp ports as well. I can forward all ports to my DS's IP. Is this a good idea or is it a bad security risk? I don't use a dongle and again I can connect to my netgear router very well, but a lot of times I get error 86420 after a long time of searching. Will this help?
