Best Type of Connection

[Hmaal]

Can some one please help me by giving me the best type and setup connection to play Brawl with the least amount of lag? (If its possible to get this connection at this point.)

 

[blazer787]

depends on your homes wireless network strength

 

[Hmaal]

I know but what I was wanting to know is what will give me the best strength.

 

[blazer787]

i would recamend a belkin router for strongest strength

 

[Hmaal]

How much are Belkin's? (Average Price Please?)

 

[Jammer]

Routers are pretty much the same. It depends more on your protocol, but signal strength isn't the problem--it's lag, which is mostly the same no matter what wireless connection you have.

If you really care that much, use a wired connection from your Wii to your Internet. Any non-dialup internet connection has roughly the same latency, except for satellite connections. You won't be able to play online if you have a satellite connection.

Hope this helps.

As long as you have a good connection, there should only be lag with people across the world, like Sakurai says here: http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/wi-fi/wi-fi01.html

The more distant you are, the worse your connection becomes, and the slower it feels. I apologize, but I hope you understand.

It does and thanks. I thought that a direct route from the CPU to the Wii would be the best, I just had no way of doing that.

 

[blazer787]

don't know for sure but i think its around $35 or so. try googling it

It doesn't matter.

I promise you'll be fine, as long as you don't have a satellite connection or 26.3 Kbs dial-up.

Don't worry; Sakurai is watching out for you.

I'm not an expert on this but I think wiring an ethernet from your wii to your router/ modem or whatever works better than relying on Wi-Fi.

Also, when I used to play halo 2 for xbox online, I got better connection if I unplugged my computers ethernet cable from the router. The fewer things you have trying to use the internet should speed it up a little.

Thanks Guys, I just wanted to make sure that I had a good connection so I could play some decent Wi-Fi mataches without alot of lag.

If you want a fast connection, go with Wii Lan.

Supposedly it has 5 signal bars instead of 3, it just don't show.

It goes fast for me, and since that Wii update fixed the bug with Wiiconnect 24 with Lan not working..
Its splendid.

 

[Hmaal]

I'll keep these in mind.

Slightly off topic, but there should be an online thread, just to get people more in tuned to it.
For example, maybe people like me. Because I did not understand half the dialogue and terms in this thread. Maybe a thread that would describe and fully explain steps and items needed to get online and the proper specifics and crap.

Anyways, sorry to prolong this thread. Also, sorry if something like this DOES actually exist.

if you got the best connection in the world lag will still happen

i dont even use a wirless connection. yes i use the dreaded wired connection.

Dreaded? Come on now...

What type of Wired connection do you have?

If your using it via one modem then yeah that would suck. Since it would cut off your internet...which is why you use a substitute.

 

[raphtmarqui]

Just make sure you have a good connection.

 

[Lgndknight]

of course, nothing fixes Mario Striker's lag right?

yeah its a modem but usually when doing online stuff on the wii i dont need the internet so its not that bad

[soviet prince]
