Wii in Australia thread

When i got my wireless router for Christmas...it was not fun, i couldn't get the damn thing to work. It took me three days to get it working. So finally, i get the damn thing going by plugging the ethernet cable coming from the modem into one of the out routing ports, and then my wii gets an error code when i do the connection test:mad2: I dont know what i did, but i finally got it all working and everything is fine now. Having limited knowledge while setting up that router did NOT help me. If you know how to do it, go for it, but otherwise you might be finding yourself crying on the floor wrapped in cables trying to figure it all out!
 
I don't have wireless and teh Nintendo USB didnt work so my only hope is that cable thigny. And I always roll around on the floor crying and wrapped in cables so thats OK :p

But I will definelty convince my dad to get wireless when SSB:B comes out. I might even...pay for it myself!
 
My wifi usb dongle didn't work either, my computer wouldn't even install the drivers *shakes fist at nintendo* The wired LAN adapter is available now, but not in stores, only directly from Nintendo for $40. The online SSBB is going to be so sweet! I can't wait.
 
It is available now? I did not know, due to me not knowing! -runs to Nintendo website-
hehe...this made me laugh

I shall delete it later as it makes the post to big

EDIT OF POWER:

To connect the Wii console online with a wired connection using the Wii LAN Adapter, you will need the following:

An active broadband internet connection, such as ADSL or Cable.
Either a broadband modem or wired router with an available ethernet port.
An ethernet cable.

Wait, this means I need to connect the cable to the router? The one that...is on the OTHER SIDE OF THE HOUSE? :sick:

EDIT the SECOND!: Long post!

That's the exact reason I went for wireless, my internet connection and wii are on different sides of the house, I didn't really want wires running everywhere, and your connection slows down if you have a longer wire aswell.
 
Slow you say? Well, wireless it is. I shall request it for my 17th b-day. Ho-yo-yo. My dad is really against wireless cause it is apparently hard to set up. Moogle.
 
I have a router. Kinda need it to use my laptop. Although, I haven't bothered to use it for the Wii. But it should be good. The Wii is very close to the router. Unlike the laptop. I am currently working on a VERY LOW connection. I guess thats what I get when I use it from upstairs.

And some of our Friday Night conversation was related. A lot of it wasn't. But... We are sad people who didn't have anything better to do on Friday Night?

On an unrelated note, Miss Potter was great. But Ewan looked funny.
 
... Setting up the wireless router was the easiest thing I've ever done. Connected a few cables, followed the instructions on the disk... and it was on. Setting up the security for the connection was the more difficult part - however, that was easy once I worked out how to do it. Unless we aren't just talking about the router here.
 
You should connect it up, everythings free! (Apart from the connection costs of your net) You could be writing messages from your wii on a faster connection than your slow lappy connection :p
 
Oh I thought wireless was fairly easy to set up. Darn. I have work soon!

Miss Potter? I dunno if I should/would see it. I'm proabably gonna be asked to see Epic Movie but that looks like a movie that took about 2 weeks to film, tops. Another reply before me? Noo!
 
It all depends on whether or not the setup worked well, obviously yours did, mine didn't and took me three days to sort out :sad: I will also go and see epic movie, looks like a good laugh.
 
Oh, I could just move the laptop downstairs. But, you know...effort. My brothers were playing my Wii while I was out. That annoyed me. They left my controllers out. I hate when they do that. Maybe I'm being a neat freak.

Miss Potter was good. It wasn't like the best movie of the year. But it was just fun to watch, you know? Epic Movie... I don't think I'd bother with that. I might watch it once its out on dvd. But, it doesn't look like its worth the $10 movie ticket.

Hmm... I think my brother was playing Zelda. As long as he didn't mess anything up.
 
If you dont want them playing it, just put parental controls on, you have to enter in a pin number in order to do anyting! :)
 
They just complain if I don't let them. They own the 64. So they just go on and on about that. See, I wouldn't mind so much if they just helped with the batteries. But they don't! They just go 'Oh, to bad' it really annoys me.

And they always leave my stuff out. I'm currently missing two box sets of Bewitched. They are somewhere downstairs. They never ever return things of mine, or they just leave them anywhere. Like they did with my controller.
