Wi-Fi

I cant get Wi-Fi to work. I went to Wi-Fi on Mario Kart and searched for an acess point, and it came up with 2 of them. They are both name "NETGEAR" and unlocked, but everytime I test it, I get a problem. Do I need to get closer or something?

I recommend doing some reading at www.nintendowifi.com to see if your wireless router(s) are compatible, or if you need to do something to them to get them to work.

There not my routers, there the schools, and I would feel pretty stupid going up to ask them if they could help me set it up, so I could play online during class. They would probably slap me.

Umm... yeah they would slap you.

My question is do they let you play the DS offline during classes?

Probably the school's network isn't setup for it (or is setup to block it). Unless you can get them to change it, you're SOL.

I don't know about your school, but my school uses WPA which the DS doesn't support. And most schools make it so that you can only access the Wi-Fi in lobby/quite-rooms/open areas (i.e., not your dorm room) or in classes. Most rooms are blocked from receiving the signals since they don't want you get free internet in your room (they put in those expensive T3 there for a reason).

But congrats on getting it to work with your school's wi-fi. Most schools make it so that only laptops can access the wi-fi.
