===FAQ=== | |||
'''Q. FBI doesn't want to connect, but I'm in a local network!''' | |||
Sadly, FBI most times doesn't connect if you don't have an active internet connection in your 3DS (with internet access, and not only local network access). If you are sure your local network have internet access, check that your internet connection is correctly set up in your 3DS Settings. | |||

Download and install wjchen's build of FBI. The download link is nearly on the top of this post. Look for orange letters. | |||
'''Q. Does it work if I'm using my 3DS connected to wifi tethering on my mobile device?''' | |||
Yes, as long as your PC is connected to that same mobile network, and you have internet access. | |||
'''Q. From my last question, I was talking about the Android app working with wifi tethering connected 3DS.''' | |||
Yes, it should work. You can turn on your WiFi tethering on an Android device, and after connecting your 3DS to it, the Android app should work correctly with the local IP your 3DS will show. | |||
