Help!!! my wii's internet!

[flutterblueYoshi]

I want to be Ready for Brawl with wifi-play ,but every so often my connection is lost on the wii can someone help me fix this problem! sigh

That actually JUST happened to me two days ago. I have NO idea how to fix it as it was working fine since APRIL. AND my computer internet works. So I don't see what the problem is.

Check your router?

 

[flutterblueYoshi]

What could it be?

 

[iLink]

Checking your router would help, we need more info then just "my wifi stopped working"

 

[JoeMotion]

You can look up the error codes online. That will give you a starting place. If that doesn't work you can by the Nintendo USB adaptor. That works pretty well. Or use the LAN adaptor also from Nintendo.

 

[flutterblueYoshi]

yes I tryed that already

 

[flutterblueYoshi]

It stops and then its starts its just weird

 

[flutterblueYoshi]

Thanks for the suggestions

This same problem happens to my wii and 360, my router is working properly but it sometimes disconects and then the computer internet stops working..

 

[flutterblueYoshi]

Ill fix it when the game comes out thats probably the best time to fix it.

 

[NoNessNoProblem]

yea is there a way to connect to wifi with a cable

 

[Brockman5]

Yes you need an ethernet cable..I'm pretty sure..

 

[flutterblueYoshi]

Alright Ill try everything as long as it fixs the internet connection or wi-fi

Well going to an actual Wii forum would probably help more than here.

My 360 used to always cut out but... I forgot how I fixed it..

Use ethernet cable, less lag for online play. Makes gaming more enjoyable.

Most likely problem (as in I'd wager money on it) is that your router's wireless is dying. This happens every once in awhile to most routers (if it happens a lot, chances are there's something wrong with it...get a new one). I suggest simply resetting your router (unplugging and plugging it back in). If your wii online works right after this, then the wireless is indeed dying.

Your Wii could also be getting a weak signal from your router and so every so often the signal isn't strong enough to generate a connection. This depends on what kind of router you have and where it is in relation to your Wii.

Get the LAN adapter. It keeps a VERY stable connection for a long time.

 

[flutterblueYoshi]

I right Ill try to fix it now thanks for everything.

I thought so.I wish I could bring you over to my house so you can tell my stupid a$s IRL friend that.He thinks that because the Wii LAN adaptor goes to the USB ports on the Wii,he automatically thinks "USB,slower connection,get wireless dude.." I guess hes confused with the fact that its a converter,not a actual USB internet connecting add-on.

USB 2.0 Hi-Speed actually has nice bandwidth, but I can't for the life of me find the actual speed rating of USB cables.

 

[Dragonboy2k4]

If one doesn't have a converter handy, they can always just plug the USB cable straight into their modem (if it has such a port). Granted, they have to sacrifice computer internet since you can't share a Public IP address without a router, but I seriously plan on doing this since I don't have a converter or an extra Cat-5e laying around.

Thats the thing bro,from what I learned so far,most connections dont support PPPoE like that with the Wii LAN adaptor.You have to have a router/hub no matter what it seems.

I had this problem with my internet connection as well. It moved really slowly when I tried to play an online game.

I went to Nintendo online to see if they could help. Apparently most routers come set on a default channel 6, which is the frequency that the router broadcasts the wireless signal on. Channel 6 is often used by many other household devices so when they are in operation it can mess up the signal.

Nintendo recommends changing the channel to either 1 or 11. I changed it to 1 and it worked a lot better, but whenever a phone call came in, the internet would disconnect completely. Then I changed the channel to 11 and it has worked perfectly. This could probably help you.

Here is a website that has the information for your router and tells you how to access your router to change those settings.

Hope that helps.

I know someone whose Wi-Fi adapter broke. I think they just bumped it, and broke it. Simple as that.
