For better wireless signal strength, be within 35 feet of other systems.
You can change your nickname in the system settings. Tap the settings panel on the DS Menu Screen and tap the icon for personal settings.
You cannot join a room that is full. The number on the right displays the room's capacity, so a room with 17/17 is full.
