So, I got my 3DS and all was well. It connected to the internet in my dorm just fine and I could do things like invite my friends over in Animal Crossing or Wonder Trade in Pokemon. Then a few days after it arrived it started having trouble with the internet -- it would connect but only for short bursts, and only after I turned off the wireless capability for a while (usually about fifteen minutes to half an hour) and then turned it back on. It's not the internet itself, since my friends' consoles all connect to it just fine, and I don't think it's an issue with the access point because it was able to find and connect to the access point multiple times, it just refuses to now. Now it won't connect at all, even if I turn the wireless off and then back on and even if when I turn it off I leave it off for long periods of time. Does anyone know what might be causing this/what possible fixes are? It still does local things like Streetpass and local multiplayer just fine, at least, but I'd really like to be able to play with my friends who are further away. Any help is much appreciated! If there's an actual physical repair that needs to be done I'd like to know about it sooner than later so I can get that underway.
