Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software? Or maybe just use a router directly for your wireless connection? What are you trying to do in the long run?
Ok, 1. The very first time I ran the software, I plugged in my USB connector when it told me to and the install progressed until about halfway. It sat there, stuck, saying "Installing Drivers" for 30 minuts. I gave up on it and exited the install. 2. Running the software the second time, plugging the connector in when prompted, and it gets about 3/4s of the way through when suddenly it errors out and tells me "Please plug the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connector into a USB port". Of course, it is already plugged in since it told me to earlier in the install.

Note: If you receive the error, "You are not connected to the internet", this means that the setup utility is not able to detect an active internet connection.

When directed to, insert the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector into any open USB slot on the PC. 6. If the warning, "Hi-speed USB device plugged into non-hi-speed USB hub" appears, click okay. This just means the USB port is an older 1.1 USB port version. Once the software is installed, you must register your Nintendo DS using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connector Registration Tool. 7.

There will be a small, yellow "?" next to it. 12. Click on the Nintendo DS's nickname and select "Grant permission to connect." A blue, standing man icon will appear next to the DS's nickname. The Nintendo DS will now have permission to connect to the USB connector. Up to five Nintendo DS systems can connect to the adapter at a time. From the website. Go to nintendowifi.com then go tech support, then getting started and choose the options from there.
Since it seems you already know how to install it, you should try different USB ports if you havn't already. If there is still no recognition of the device I would take it back and get another. Could be a chance it's defective.
Ok I am going to get another one in hopes that it wont be defective. I shall be back with more information in an hour or two.
