Connecting Wii to Internet

Hello all,
I have been trying to connect my Wii to the internet. However, I am at college and getting it connected wirelessly won't work. I bought a Rocketfish LAN adaptor but that still didn't work. I have been reading about people connecting the Wii to there computer with an Adaptor to get internet!? Will this work in my case? Or is there an adaptor I can get to hook into my wii and then in a ethernet outlet in my room?  Is there any ideas you can give me to help me connect my Wii to my schools internet?
Thanks! 

the wii has built-in wireless capabilities as I'm sure you are aware so there is no need for an ethernet cable. From the home page on your wii go to settings, network settings, choose network type (wireless) then it will scan for networks and chose the one your dorm is connected to. Then test the connection. It may run through the settings for the network in which case just go with the defaults. If this still doesn't work, it's probably because your campus has safety features for their internet that are preventing you from using the internet on the wii in which case you will need to contact your resnet team and they will be able to figure it out.

  • Using 3G cricket broadband to connect Wii to internet??

    I really don't know what I'm doing, can anyone offer any advice?
    I'm trying to connect our Wii to the internet using my Cricket Broadband 3G USB modem, plugged into my MacBook. I've tried to create a network with internet on, and it won't work. Will not find the connection, even though the signal is full. The Wii can see my computer's network, but will not connect.
    Is there something I'm missing, or doing wrong, or does anyone have any other way of doing this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Angelique

    To gain Internet access for the MacBook Pro, you will either need your own Internet service provided by an ISP or access to another Wi-Fi network that has Internet service.
    Your MBP has a built-in wireless adapter, called an AirPort Extreme Card. This adapter is able to connect to just about any Wi-Fi network available today.
    If you opt to get your own Internet service, most ISPs will provide you as a minimum an Internet modem. Some also offer a wireless version of this device. For those that do not, you will also need an Internet router (wired or combination wired/wireless) in order for your MBP's wireless to connect.

  • Trying to use MacBook to connect Wii to internet

    I just bought a Wii yesterday and I am trying to connect it to the internet so I can buy old school nintendo games. I have already spent way too much time on it and it won't work. The wii is recognizing the signal from my computer, but it will not pass the connection test. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
    I am running a MacBook 10.4.11 2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
    I have the internet coming into my macbook through ethernet DSL and it is being broadcast through airport wireless.
    Again, thank you for your help!

    Ensure that the firewall on the MacBook is disabled.
    Unfortunately OS X's Internet sharing has no options. If the services required by the Wii aren't passed through, you will need to buy an inexpensive wireless router and use that instead of your Mac.

  • Cannot connect Wii to the Internet - Error message...

    Hi.
    I cannot get the family Wii to connect to the internet.  Instruction for doing so were followed correctly.  An error message - error 51330 comes up on the screen.   Advice on how to resolve this problem would be much appreciated.  All other wireless enabled devices are connecting okay. 
    Thanks - Guard

    Hi try this it may help
    Usually the error code means that:
    A: You chose the wrong Wi-Fi security (i.e. your Wi-Fi security is WPA but you chose WEP)
    B: You entered the wrong password
    C: Your Wii's MAC address is not allowed (If your Wi-Fi network uses MAC adresses to let certain PCs use the network)
    D: Your wireless router brodcasts a "channel" your Wii isn't compatible with
    E: Your wireless router isn't broadcasting in b/g mode.

  • Cannot connect Wii, TV,

    Today, three of our internet-enabled devices, Wii, TV, and BD player, quit connecting to the internet.  Our computers (macbooks and an iMac), iPads, and iPhones connect just fine.  The iMac and the three internet enabled devices use a wired connection; the others are connecting wirelessly.  Cox Communications, our internet/cable TV provider, says that the problem must be with our router.  That router is a 1TB Time Capsule. 
    Any suggestions on how to correct this problem?

    *Similar problem:* Time Machine Wireless (Airport Extreme Base Station) died & replaced new by Apple!... now that I have the wireless re-setup my MacBook Pro is able to connect to the Internet. My Apple TV connects (via Ethernet) also to the internet BUT sync between MBP & ATV is now lost!!
    +I cannot see ATV in my iTunes... have tried various... unplug all connections, restart & reboot -all hardware: MBP, aTV, router, ADSL Modem; turn off Firewall+ still cannot sync or see ATV, also tried wireless instead of Ethernet without any success!
    Any suggestions gratefully received.

  • Looking for PPPoE host BUT connected to the Internet

    Hi, so I have a home network that consists of a BritePort 8012-G1 which is set-up to connect to earthlink DSL using PPPoE with its login and password. The DSL modem is set in half-bridge mode (I am thinking of switching it to full bridge mode and authenticating with the airport extreme instead but that is really not my problem... if you have suggestions either way on this topic feel free to post in this thread but that is not the issue I want resolved) and passes ip and dns server information correctly to the airport extreme. The airport extreme is setup to share the internet connection using DHCP and NAT. There are 6 devices that connect to the airport extreme, 5 of which work perfectly. The ones that work are a Mac Pro running 10.5.4 connected through ethernet, a Macbook Pro running 10.5.4 connected through wifi, two iphones that connect using wifi when in the apartment and a nintendo wii also connecting through wifi. The last device, the one causing problems, is a macbook pro running 10.4.11 which is connecting through wifi.
    The problem with this last computer is that when it connects to the airport extreme base station it continually says looking for PPPoE host in the menu bar. The strange thing is that the computer is connecting to the internet (you can browse the net and download stuff) even though it is showing the message. Even stranger is that in TCP/IP it doesn't show any DNS information (it should show the airport extreme). I had never had this happen before, but I recently changed the security settings on the airport from WPA/WAP2 to only have WAP2 so I thought that maybe by reversing it to the old setting the message would go away, but it didn't happen. You may all wonder why I think its a problem if I can still surf the net and download stuff, well first of all seeing the message is annoying, but more importantly it seems to have an effect on the speed at which I can surf the web on that computer. It is much slower than the other devices on the network and maybe it is even slowing down the network as a whole.
    Just so you know, I have looked to make sure that all the use PPPoE settings are off in both the airport and ethernet configuration for this particular laptop. I have even turned them on and back off for good measure but it seems to make no difference. I have disconnected myself from the router and re-connected hundred of times.
    Thank you for you time!
    Daniel
    PS Yes I have searched the forums before posting but everything I found about looking for PPPoE host had people not connected to the internet

    I can't connect to my ISP using PPoE either using Firmware 7.3.2. I had to downgrade to 7.3.1 to connect to the PPoE.

  • Problems connecting Wii via wi-fi to Home Hub 5

    Sorry if this has been posted before.  New Home Hub 5 - but my Wii will not connect to the internet  - although it clearly can see the hub.  Nintendo book suggests using a static IP address or checking for MAC filtering - how DO i get into hub manager???

    Use this link
    http://bthomehub.home/
    It could also be that the Wii has a problem with the dual frequencies on the Homehub 5.
    Try giving the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies different SSids. Just add a 5 to the end of the 5Ghz SSid so you know which is which. Check the 5 GHz Sync with 2.4 GHz: is set to NO.
    You'll need to connect your other devices that can use both frequencies to both SSids if you want them to be able to use both frequencies.
    See this link
    http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/44798/~/i-have-problems-connecting-5ghz-and-dual-band...
    It might be that your Wii can not use the security that the homehub uses. You may have to change the WPA/WPA2 security to WEP on the 2.4Ghz frequency.
    See link how to do that.

  • Apple TV cannot connect to the Internet

    Hi,
    Hope someone can help. I haven't used apple TV for a week or so, and when I have just turned it on again, I found although it finds my wireless network, it cannot connect to the internet as it was doing since I got it over a year ago. No settings have changed, and my MacBook, iMac, iPhone, Wii and PS3 all still connect fine. I tried a system restore, but now apple TV won't start up as it still can't connect to the internet. I have also tried rebooting my router. Does anyone know what might be the problem?
    Thanks for your help,
    Pete

    I have the exact same problem and my home network have a max capacity of 250 devices, which Im not any way near off.
    I have one pc connected via ethernet, so I always have an option of connecting if WIFI fails.
    I have one iMAC connecyed via WIFI
    I have one Apple notebook conenected via WIFI
    I have one Nintendo Wii connected via WIFI
    And, I have one Apple TV which will not connect while other devices are connected. If I disconnect the notebook and iMAC the Apple TV works fine.

  • IPod Touch 4G can't connect to the internet

    I've seen similar posts, but there doesn't seem to be an answer.
    I can connect my iPod Touch to my wireless router but cannot connect to the internet. Safari gives the following error:
    "Cannot open page. Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet".
    Other devices (wireless and not) can connect to the internet.
    In the Wi-Fi settings, I have an IP address and subnet mask, but nothing for Router or DNS. I have reset the Wi-Fi settings a couple of times.
    The router is a SpeedStream 6540.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I had the same problem on older dsl modems if your IP address is 169 you must connect to your router even if it is showing bars that your wii-fi is available & working. It took some time for me to figure this out but you must go to settings click on wi-fi (even if its showing your wii-fi signal name & that it is on it will only do this if you put in a password which is usually on the back/bottom of your modem in form of a sticker that reads device/access code or something similar  or it may do this automatically remember just because you are connected doesn't mean you have access as of yet) Ok so here's the trick to it all you must select other then type in your network name same as your wii-fii name for example mine is a # yours maybe speedstreamer560 etc  and then enter security code which is usually found on the back or bottom of your modem it will usually be a very very long # if it is wep you may also have wpa wpa2 etc your modem's sticker will let you know what you have so make sure under the security tab you press the > to select the security that applies to you. then yousave it or press done I forget it says and you will be connected but you must make positively sure you typed in all the right info especially those of you with wep theres like a combo of letters & #'s totaling 26 so just one mistake & no connect. Hope this has helped

  • What do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet

    what do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet. i have contacted apple support and they said to change from wep to wpa2 but when i change it to wpa2 and type in password and connect on my laptop it says the saved setting on this computer for the network do not match the require ments of the network

    My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
    You may need to go back and start over.  Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

  • The wi-fi on my ipod touch is connected but the internett is not working! Help

    Soo annoying, it's connected but the internett is not working. I don't know what to type in or what to do, so I need help.

    Are you 100% positive you are connected?  Head to Settings - Wi-Fi and tap the > next to the network you are connected to?  What is listed for an IP address?  If it's in the 169.x.x.x range, it means your iPod did not properly receive a valid IP address via DHCP from your modem/router. So the 169.x.x.x address is a self-assigned one.
    This can usually be resolved by a reboot of your router.  You can do this by unplugging it for about 30 seconds.  After it powers back up, try reconnecting it.  It wouldn't hurt to try a reset of your iPod as well.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • If the wifi on my iPod Touch is on nothing else on the router will connect to the internet

    Ever since I updated my iPod Touch 4th Gen to iOS 6, If the wifi on my iPod Touch is on nothing else on the router will connect to the internet..
    It's the weirdest thing.
    My Wired and WiFi computers are experiencing DNS errors, unresolved URLs and in general having difficulty connecting to the internet...
    That is.... UNTIL I SHUT OFF THE WIFI ON MYiPOD 4th Gen TOUCH!!!
    Then everything works fine.
    I've reset my router, several times.
    I've reset my Cable Moden, several times.
    The problem persists until I disable the WiFi on my iPod

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

    I presume that this model is a modem **bleep** router as I do not have a separate modem with my system.I have a DSL connection and the firmware version of my router is ver.1.0.If I recall,I did upgrade to the next firmware upgrade a few months after I purchased the router but I am not sure.
    I use both my PC's to run a small business venture and I am worried that resetting the router may cause some other problems and will stop me from using the internet.
    The Command Prompt information above was taken from my laptop.
    Any help will be really appreciated.

    I suggest resetting the router. Make sure firmware is updated. You can download it here - http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/WRT120N. After firmware upgrade, reset and reconfigure. Just access the link below to guide you setting up the router.

  • My iPod Touch will no longer stay connected to the internet

    Right before updating to iOS 6, I was using FaceTime and other various apps that require an internet connection, and they all worked just fine.
    After updating to iOS 6, I noticed that things took a much longer time to load, such as Facebook. I then noticed that FaceTime was now extremely laggy, and often disconnected within 30 seconds (note that both sides are using wi-fi, not data plan). Now my iPod won't even stay connected to the internet, it keeps automatically disconnecting itself when I try to use FaceTime and tells me to "Log in" whenever I try to re-connect, only to send me to an apple site that says my search could not be found?

    Though I'm not sure what that does, it was off o.O I turned it to auto, I am now able to use FaceTime but my App Store won't load any Categories, let's just hope Apple get's this sortded out soon.
    EDIT: For some reason I keep typing "not" instead of "now" T.T

  • 10.6.8 some devices can no longer connect to the Internet

    I have a home network with two MacBook Pros (let's call them MBP1 and MBP2), two iPod Touch, and an Airport Extreme connected to a cable modem. All networking and Internet access have been working flawlessly.
    Then we updated both MBPs to 10.6.8. Now, out of the four devices, only MBP1 can still connect to the Internet. MBP2 and the two iPods can see the wireless network, but can't connect to the Internet.
    We tried a variety of things suggested in other message threads on MBP2: install the 10.6.8 combo update, fix permissions, trash preference files, to no avail. We reset the Airport to factory settings and set it up again. We ran Disk Warrior on MBP2. We have exhausted everything in our bag of tricks.
    Anyone else experience something like this?
    Is 10.6.8 a red herring, and is this due to something else?
    Help!

    Linc... I followed your advice and started looking elsewhere for the problem. I remembered one thing that was different on my laptop: some time ago, I switched my DNS settings to use Open DNS.
    So I checked the DNS settings in the other laptop and the iPods, switched the DNS setting to Open DNS, and everything works like a charm.
    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
