Misc Wii on 2Wire 2701HG-B

My router is in another room, so a LAN adapter won't do me any good. So i'll try what SoulSnatcher said first and see what happens.

But umm...How do you disable the wireless network again?

 

[Deleted_171835]

To turn off the wireless you go to the Home Network section. On that page if you look at "Status at a Glance" you'll see Wireless with a button that says "Disable". Click that to disable the wireless.

Okay...But before I do this..Is there any other alternative way to connect wirelessly? Or like a wifi adapter?

Well, the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Adapter is one option but I would suggest against it. It has a number of problems. You could just purchase a regular wireless adapter, though.

 

[Link2356]

So a regular wireless adapter would probably do the trick? (Assuming a wireless adapter works on a Wii.)

 

[Link2356]

And if so, What would be a good adapter to recommend for me?

If you're expecting to be able to plug a usb wifi adapter into the wii, it's not going to work.

 

[Link2356]

I figured that much. I meant something similar to the Nintendo Wifi Adapter.

Anyone?

Anyone?

Buy a new router.

A regular wireless adapter should work fine.

Did you try disabling the wireless and connecting the other router?

 

[Link2356]

Yes I did. And that didn't work because I couldn't connect online even though it had full bars.

I think Imma try a regular wireless adapter, and hopfully that'll work.

Okay...So I finally got a Wii Lan Adapter, and took my old Linksys router in my room. Plug them both up and tried to connect....

Anyone wanna take a guess what happen? (Then again, I need to get a new router I think...)

 

[tueidj]

Please tell me you haven't installed some stupid hack that always makes the connection test fail.

 

[Link2356]

Connection Hack? On the wii? I don't think so unless one of the cIos (or whatever) has something to do with it.

I highly doubt I did....But if I did, is there any way that I can fix that?

Quick question.. If I get a router to hook up (wired) to my wii, don't I need a modem as well? (For the router itself)

Anyone?

How about is there a way for me to turn off my firewall?
