Sunday June 01, 2008 Wii Wireless Now Working
|
What a difference 9 months and a system update makes. Last August, when I tried wirelessly connecting to the Internet using our Wii, it didn't work. Instead, I ended up buying a Nin Wii USB->LAN adapter and setting up a wired connection. |
Today Duncan wanted to try out a couple of the newer Wii channels, so we moved the Wii into the office again, setup the wired connection and he played around for quite a while.
While we were there, I did a Wii system update. I then tried the wireless connection again. Initially it failed, but I cleared out the settings, and got it to look for our access point again. I reinserted our WEP key and it found our wireless network!
The big test was to then take it back into the TV room, setup it all back up and try again. The TV room is quite a distance from the Linksys WRT54G. Amazingly, it's all working fine. I can only assume that Nintendo have found and fixed a bug when trying to connect to this type of router.
Duncan's happy. He's now lying on the couch trying to decide how to "spend" a 1000 Wii points.

Still using insecure WEP?
