Heya
I'm Atrias as you might have read
The current reason I signed up was to find help to connect my wii to the net, using the official nintendo usb connector used for the DS.

Hopefully, I will also find more topics of interest and hope to as well be pleasant and useful to the community

Hey....

- Plug in your USB adapter (To your PC) and install any Software you may get with it

- Keep it plugged in and your PC switched on

- Go on your Wii and go to the Settings (Wii button, Botton left, Wii Menu)

- Go to Internet and Connection Settings

- Go to Connection 1, Click Wireless. Let it search and click your USB (It will locate it easily)

- Test the connection and your all set

xD Have Fun Wiing - Wanting to say that for a long time

 

[Atrias]

I've done all that. But for some reason it didnt want to pass the connection test. It keeps saying it is unable to connect to the internet, yet I am sure i've done everything correctly on my pc.
In fact, when i try to connect, the registrator shows my wii's nickname. I've granted permission for it to connect, and when i try the connection test, everything on the comp seems fine (a little man is shown running, the signal is green), but alas...it just refuses


EDIT: I've read manuals, forums and everything, yet I dont seem to see where my problem is. Theoretically it should have worked ><'

It may be because of some interference.... are there any cordless phones, LAN, microwaves (lol) in use anywhere near where your USB is plugged in?

 

[Atrias]

nope, none at all. I've got nothing infrared in my room, save for my wii (doh) cell phone which i dont use and the usb adaptor ='(

[Atrias]

I'll do it once I get back to where my wii is ^^;
That said, the usb is near a load of electrical device, would they hamper the signal?
And yes its on a wooden surface...

Also sorry for missing your thread :'( Guess I didn't spend enough time looking...

 

[Wii17]

yes possibly and it's ok lol, make sure its not laying on it's back, stick it to a wall with yellowtack or something also its ony got like a 15 meter range

 

[Atrias]

well i did all you said, still nothing...
That said, my ports on the computer are indeed horizontal, so i used the usb plug...
Hmm, turned off firewalls and norton...made sure it was free from any interefering objects...
Well guess i got no choice but try various positions =( Thanks for the help mate.

The crusade to plug my wii to the net begins...

EDIT: Ah ma gad! It warked!!! WAHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAA!!!
