Hi,
Whenever my Wii is turned on, one of the computers in my house don't have access to the internet.
But after I turn it completely off (from the power source) it works and connects fine..
I've tried removing all internet related things on my Wii and all information like password and SSID...
So is there a solution to this?
I want the Wii to be connected to the internet and the computer still working..
Thanks!

 

Yeah... if the wii is completely set to not connect to an access point there isn't any way for it to be an IP conflict, it instead sounds more like radio interference... You don't have the case off of the wii for some reason do you? Or maybe you have an unauthorized case mod? If you have a case mod it's probably not designed to properly shield electrical interference

Another possibility (though far more of a long shot) is that there is a problem with the wii's power cord... either it's an unofficial one, or there is wear on the coating and there is interference from that... Or there are some attachments that go in-between the power adapter and the wii (certain cooling fans or wii-mote rechargers) which could also be having an effect.

 

Could be an IP conflict, as Wabsta said.
How many computers are connected to your network? Some routers have a limitation on how many computers may be connected at one time.

 

Does the same thing happen when you connect a phone to your wireless internet?
If so, then it's a limitation on your router.
If not, then is it always the same PC that loses internet connection when the Wii is connected?
If so, then you should set a static IP for that PC.
If not, then I have no idea.

 

Sounds to me like the router has a maximum number of IP addresses to allocate - and that maximum number is below the number of devices you're trying to connect...

 

It could also be a MAC Address (network card "unique" ID) conflict. Even though they are supposed to be unique, sometimes network card makers reuse them which can cause lots of problems. You can check the MAC address of your computer by opening a command line and using ipconfig /all (if in Windows) or ifconfig (Mac/Linux/BSD). On the Wii, go to the system settings menu, then Internet, then Console Information. If the numbers and letters shown are the same, then you have a problem.

 

To me who has worked for an ISP support and currently on my way to becoming a network technologies engineer, it sounds like you've got a few public IP-addresses allocated to you by the ISP and then having your bridged Gateway assign those addresses wirelessly & through ethernet connections, it works like a normal Router, but with a couple of important differances.
So if you got 5 IP's from the ISP and got 4 computers on + Wii, the 5th computer when turned on have no IP to be assigned, this is solved by turning one of the other units off and wait for a while.


In most cases you could "un-bridge" the gateway by calling the ISP support and asking for it (or sometimes do it yourself).

Just a qualified guess here.

 

he is talking about a non-natted account, normal basic home accounts have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and is called a natted account which means there is 1 public IP which is assigned by your ISP and up to 255 internal IP accounts which is assigned by your router.

DHCP IP range from 1-199
Static IP from 200-250 maybe 255 cant remember

a Non-Natted account is usaully a business account where you have a subnet mask of say 255.255.255.248 that will give you 6 public IP which is assigned by your router, and that is where the guy above is talking about.

again for the wii to stop routing (webpages) on a computer, assign the wii a static IP with the correct subnet mask (if its a home account) 255.255.255.0 , correct DNS and default gateway(router IP) and try that see if that works.

hops this helps

 

thats the bit I forgot about the broadcast IP thats going from 5 years ago when I worked as tech support for an ISP,here in UK ISP's are very tight with IP allocation and all home accounts are NAT (network address translation) unless you can provide why you need more than 1 external IP, I know of some cases where people have been declined their requests.

UK bandwidth doesnt even compare to sweden's I remeber one year, one guy DOS attack a main pipe that UK users used for their internet, the guy brought the pipe to a standstill knocking thousands off the internet,
