Yes, you may end up needing to contact Nintendo for some over the phone troubleshooting, but sometimes the simplest things to try are power cycling your wireless router and see if a fresh reboot will cure your connection problem.:)

 

But if not, try also erasing your 3DS Wi-Fi connection settings and then set them again and hopefully that will work.:)

Also the "001-0502" error code does state that "make sure that the Nintendo 3DS system is within 30 feet of the wireless access point" and "that your body or other objects (such as walls, plants, furniture, and other people) are not blocking the signal. Also, make sure there is no interference from wireless phones (cell phones are okay)."

Yes, I'm very close to the router, so it's not that problem, and there are no objects or walls. My Wii can connect fine and it's way more far way than the 3DS.

I will try to erase the connection and set it up again, but I doubt it will help, as my Wii, my PC and even the 3DS itslef can connect to the internet perfectly.

@ONE-OF-THREE

I did what you suggested (deleting the connection and setting it up again), but it didn't work; still getting the error code...

People, I solved my issue. Here's how I did it, if anyone has the same problem in the future:

I think my issue was a really weird one, because my router, internet, and wi-fi all work perfectly. The fact that everything on the PC, Wii, DSi, and 3DS worked except the eShop made me think that this wasn't a connection problem.

If another person has the same problem, here's how I solved it: I received two channels via spotpass: the pokedex and the nintendo video. This, of course, were not the games itself, they were just direct access to the eShop for downloading.

So, I clicked on the Pokedex 3D access, and it took me to the eShop page without problems. Then, the problem was solved completely. I can now access the eShop (via the eShop channel, not other thing) without any problems. I guess my issue was a very strange one, so I wrote this explanation if anyone has this problem in the future you can just tell them to wait to receive the Pokedex publicity via spotpass and access from there. After that, I was able to access the eShop normally.

We have the same issues, however keep getting the same error code.

Try doing what I did.

This still happens from time to time...

Most of the time it works perfectly, but sometimes the same problem happens for a couple of days.

And then it fixes automatically...

it depends do you have a router in your house if you do turn off the fire walls and try it again.

Thanks for the post MANINBLUE, but my router has no firewall.
