Getting a connection error. Anyone willing to test their connection with me?

[Hazelnut]

I'm getting the dreaded error 018-0512.

This was a couple months ago, and I don't know if it's still the same or if system updates have done anything about it. The last time I went online was at a friend's house, so it wasn't my on my wifi.

Anyone here willing to try visiting me or let me visit you? I want to see if my connection still doesn't work.

Thanks.

Also, I'm new-ish to this ACNL online, so if I don't know how everything works, please be patient with me, lol.

Thanks!

Okay, I add you as a friend, right? Let's try this...

 

[LillyKay]

Open!

you updated your 3ds and game right?

 

[Hazelnut]

Open!

Still getting the error. T__T

Could you try visiting me?

I just clicked "update data," and it said the game was up to date. There was also a system update really recently, so I think it's all updated.

Okay, will try visiting you instead.

I'm assuming it's not working. :/

Thank you for trying, anyway.

This happened a few months ago, and it's doing the same thing now, so it's not a temporary thing. It's so frustrating. I tried following these instructions and putting it in the DMZ, and my wifi became seriously messed up. I won't touch my wifi settings now because of that fiasco.

I'm going to try manually assigning an IP address, though I think that if I didn't try that in the first place then there must've been a reason as to why..

I have tried 4 times now and keep getting error 018-0511.

Turn your wifi or router off completely and then restart it.
Save and turn your game off (3DS) completely and then restart.

This worked for friend of mine. I will wait for you to do this and we shall try again.

The thing is, last time I shut off my router and restarted it, I remember having problems with the setup. I'm a bit worried about messing with the thing again.

I also already had to reset it after I changed the security settings last time, which was when I was trying to overcome this same error.

Can I get back to you tomorrow (or whatever time you're on) about this? I'm going to ask a family member about dealing with our router. I've had too many problems with it in the past, and the last thing I want to do is mess it up again. -_-

That is fine. I hope you manage to sort it out. Just PM me when ready
