Wireless Router WRT310N/Nintendo Wii

The issue here for me is I'm trying to get my Nintendo Wii connected to my wireless router. I cannot do so without getting the passkey to my router...or at least that's what the customer service rep. says from Nintendo. There is no self help in the Linksys website so I figured I would try this.
Also in order for myself to get the passkey the rep. said I would need to login to the router's settings. It's a wireless router and has not direct connection to my computer really and had no set-up utilities that I can find on my computer. What do I do?

Hello Sir,
In such a case, you will do require to connect either One of the Pc to the router using a cable....open up Internet Explorer and in the address bar type in the web-site.. http://192.168.1.1 (default)..It will ask you for the username and password...the default password is "admin" and nothing in the password...
Once on the ui of the router...on top you will locate a tab for wireless...click on it...and right below it you will find wireless security...click on it....and that's where you will find the wep key that you are looking for..
Revert Back if you face any Issues...
Thanx

Wireless router wrt310n v2 installation issue

Hy
My first post here, sorry if this exist or it was solved already but couln't really find it.
I just bought a wireless router wrt310n v2. Right in the intallation it gives me a simple Runtime error. No reason, just pain error message. I wonder if the root of the problem is the fact that I bought the product in the states and I try to use in Europe, or something else? I'm using with a Sony Vaio vgn-fw560f. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Problems after wireless router (WRT310n) firmware update.

I updated the firmware on my wireless router (wrt310n) yesterday and now I am having major issues connecting my laptop to it via wireless. After the update, I reset the router as well as unplugged the power source. Once the update and everything was reset, I re-entered all my settings and set the computers back up using the LELA. I go to change the laptop to wireless and it says it can't connect to it. I did the LELA update on the laptop thinking that would fix it, but it didn't help. However, the whole time I am able to connect to the router using a ethernet cable. I turned off all of the encryption settings, firewalls, and broadcasted my SSID. I searched this forum for some help and one topic suggested somethings, which I did, and I was able to connect wirelessly with the encryption. I thought I was done and set-up, until later that evening. I turned the computer back on only to see the same problem again. I decided to deal with it the next day (today) by uninstalling LELA and just using Windows to configure my wireless settings. As soon as I uninstalled LELA, entered the key into the Windows program, it worked like a charm. Until tonight, when I turned on the computer. Now I'm connecting to the network wirelessly, but it says "Limited or no connectivity." Acting like there is no encryption key entered. I go to "View Wireless Networks" and it says "WIndows cannot configure connection. If you have another program to manage this wireless connection, use that software." The thing is, I don't have another program on here to manage a wireless connection. Sorry for the long post. I figured if I didn't type everything out, people would have just asked me questions. I had no problems with this router until I did the update yesterday. If it can't be fixed, is there a way to revert back to the old firmware? Thanks in advance.

Well you should adjust the Wireless Settings on your router...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Before you attempt to connect to your wireless network you should first check your Programs menu if there is any Wireless Program(like 'Intel Proset' , 'Dell Wireless WLAN' , or anything that gives you a clue of a Wireless Program/Utility/Software)...You should use the Wireless Utility/Software(if any) to connect to your wireless network and not the Windows default Wireless Program to avoid any conflicts...

Wireless router wrt310N can't connect to the ps3

I just bought the wireless router wrt310n yesterday got everything setup and installed. My PC works fine with the ethernet cable plugged directly into the router from my modem. But my router does not detect the connection to ps3. When I do the connection test on my ps3 it says exchanging key then connection failed!. Please help me open ports or resolve this issue. Thanks.

I bought the same router for my ps3 i'm using it wired but when i hooked up my psp i had the security on wep2 personal, make sure the passphrase it typed correct it's case sensitive,also check your wireless broadcast and make sure it is in manual and b and g mixed and not broadcasting n since the ps3 is wireless g.

How to connect Nintendo Wii to WRT54G (Wireless Router)

Does anyone know how to find the "password or key" for my secure wireless router? The Wii game is asking for "password or key" to access my wireless network and I do not know what it is.
Thanks,

I am unable to stream Netflix to my Iphone or Apple TV, from my wireless router . . . even though I am able to watch Netflix on my WII (also wireless) and desktop computer (not wireless).

I am unable to stream Netflix to my Iphone or Apple TV, from my wireless router . . . even though I am able to watch Netflix on my WII (also wireless) and desktop computer (not wireless).
On the Iphone and Apple TV I can connect to Netflix . . . it recognizes me and my account settings . . . and I can veiw all my recent programs and show titles, descriptions, etc.. But when I select one to watch I get a message saying:
"ERROR A PROBLEM OCCURED WHILE PLAYING THIS ITEM. TRY AGAIN LATER, OR SELECT A DIFFERENT ITEM. GO TO WWW.NETFLIX.COM/SUPPORT FOR MORE INFORMATION. (139)
Netflix support say there is nothing wrong on their end . . . that it is an Apple issue. They see the request for the show, the devices are registered . . . but it shows 0 bandwidth to the device.
My Apple TV did this when I first hooked it up a couple of weeks ago. Then after a few days started working with Netflix, for no apparent change . . . now doesn't again for the past couple of days (I think that it auto restarted the other night after a virus scan).
Very frustrating, and driving me nuts! Has anyone else had and been able to resolve this problem?

Troubleshooting
Apple TV2 update one day and netflix is browsing but not launching the actual content (error 139)
Ipad2 (another ios device) forces me to update netflix if I want to use it and I get the same error 139 on it.
**** now I have two not ways not working where prior to some update it was fine.
Nintendo Wii is still working ( mind you running an ancient version of netflix ) Dusted the Wii off and gave it to the kids use. Now they are happy again...
PC is also still working ( using some other flash client ) but that's just of interest, we're not going to be watching tv with that.
My wife's iphone 4s is still working. Odd.. still ios but for somereason I am not forced to update the version. So basically she could mirror stream up to the apple tv with it. Nice feature of Ios5. Later found out it is using 1.4 version of netflix. The most useful thing out of that is that all 3 of the devices are Ios and it was actually the iphone with the 1.4 version of netflix that still worked!
I heard from a friend who was on a different ISP he was still working so I took my appletv2 and ipad2 over to my brothers house who is on that same ISP as my friend and both started working. So the ISP is involved too!
Brought the appletv2 and ipad2 back to my house hoping it would maybe still work. No dice Broken again.
Searched the appstore for a decent packet analyzer and there isn't really anything. I was able to sniff the traffic with my PC and also on my juniper ssg5 confirmed that. Turns out port 80 traffic is actually failing and authorization is not happening. The other clients do not do this...
Asked a buddy from work who used to work at the ISP if he could make a call to some one who might actually know what is going on. He came back pretty quick and said yea they are trying really hard to get the beta patch in from Bluecoat asap.
So knowing that it was actually Netflix that changed when it hit 2.0 and in my case the ISP made the adjustment it's pretty safe to say this issue is going to be ongoing unless netflix changes again the way they authorize for licenses.
So that's the summary of what went right down the troubleshooting path but I'll tell what what didn't
2 calls to Netflix (useless... waste of time... they are too quick to blame anyone but themselves)
1 call to apple support (support call was going to cost more than it cost for me to change ISPs)
2 calls to ISP (through the normal means - regular support number)
So why is this intermittantly working sometimes? If you are lucky enough to authorize to an IP address that is not cached they voila you are going to get an authorization / a license to watch the show. Some people report after defribulating their appletv (reseting, rebooting, dns changes, you name it) they get it working. Over the past month we all seem to have got it working for some period of time only to lose it a day to two later.
It's now been several days since the beta patch to the bluecoat and 4 of us who have been communicating on the issue appear to be online all at the same time for those several days and that is a good sign that we might be out of the woods on the issue.
Hope this turns into something helpful for someone else out there.

Connecting Nintendo Wii - 802.11n AEBS - Broadband Router aint worken?

Hey guys, Ive just bought a new Nintendo Wii which is working a charm, but i cant seam to be able to get it to connect to my wireless network, (my new iPod Touch is also having the same problems (works fine on all networks other than home).
Essentially I've got my broadband modem plugged into a router upstairs and my AirPort Extreme (802.11n) plugged into the aforementioned router upstairs (for some reason AirPort Extreme wouldn't recognize plugging the broadband router straight in rather than through another router) so my setup is:
Broadband Modem -> Wired Router -> AirPort Wireless -> Wii
I think the fact that i have my internet connection coming from another router (whose settings i cant change cause I've forgotten the routers password) and then plugged into my AirPort is whats causing all my troubles??? So ideally if anyones got any suggestions why my AirPort wont accept direct connection from my broadband router i think that might do the trick but making my current setup work for the Wii would be cool.
This is really causing me allot of troubles with heaps of devices so any help is welcome!
Thanks in advance!

Hello kungfuelmosan. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I suggest that you try connecting the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) directly to the broadband modem again, but this time make sure to allow enough time for a complete power recycle of the network components when doing so as follows ...
Try the following, in order, until resolved:
1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
o Power-off the modem, AEBSn, & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
o Power-off the modem, AEBSn, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

Nintendo Wii with Linksys WRTG54GS Speedbooster router

does the nintendo wii have good connection when connecting to the WRTG54GS Speedbooster router? thank you.

My WRT54GS works fine as long as I have WEP turned off. As soon as I try any security on the wireless the connection is lost.

Air card on Imac. Set up & share internet wirelessly with Nintendo Wii.

I have tried to set up without success, connecting my iMac,s air card internet connection with a new Nintendo Wii. I have at one point got the Wii to recognize some connection signal (name of my iMac) but no through connection to internet with air card online.
Unfortunately, I have changed several settings on my iMac in the bluetooth and airport setups so it is not at the same starting point as original.
FYI I have an airport extreme also, which has never been utilized but is a recognized network on my MAC.

Your AirPort Extreme should be connected to the internet via the modem or whatever your ISP provides. The Mac and Wii connect to the AirPort, either wirelessly or via ethernet cables. When set up this way, your Mac will have nothing to do with connecting your Wii to the internet.
I hope this video will help:

Computer internet works but Ipod and Wii can't connect to wireless router

For Christmas I got a brand new Ipod Touch. It's able to pick up Wi-Fi and so you can explore the web with it. I went to radio shack and bought the Linksys RangePlus Wireless Router Model No. WRT110. I got it all hooked up and both the Wii and my iPod was able to connect to the internet. Well Thursday I opened the Linksys Advisor and noticed that 4 people were stealing my internet. I went into settings and put on the highest security. After doing that, I turned on my iPod and my network showed up but it wouldn't connect. It says "unable to connect". All the information such as "IP address, subnet mask, router, ect.." are blank from the settings. I click on my network, it doesn't ask me for a password (it never has), and it says "Unable to connect". I've tried countless ways to connect my ipod and wii back to the wireless router but nothing has helped. Does anyone know how to help me out?

As you have enabled higher security on your router, it is highly possible that your bot your Ipod and Wii do not support that security...Try to change your security from WPA/WPA2 to WEP and both should connect...

Linksys Easy Link Advisor for WRT310N Wireless Router after upgrading to Windows 7 (64bit)

I can't reinstall Linksys Easy Link Advisor for WRT310N Wireless Router after upgrading to Windows 7 (64bit). When I went to Linksys site for solution for new drivers, it asked me for Hardware Version Number. This model doesn't show one. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Sabertooth is right. If you are able to go online from your Router then you don't need to install LELA software on your Computer.

Setting up security and such for wireless router wrt54g without admin rights (work computer)

We are moving, I am in a new location with a new company and my only computer is this one from work. Trying to get my home network setup, I'm locked out of admin rights on this thing and am trying to set up the above router. I thought I had a modem problem at first, but finally I am online wired for now to the cable modem. I would like to get this router up and running, but I can't use the easy setup disk, and I just tried using the easy setup download and it is locked out as well. How can I get my router setup with security, with no admin rights on the pc?
This will be my first wireless router, so I am very green on the specifics and terminology. Any help is most appreciated.
Many thanks,

Thank you toomanydonuts!
I will do this when I get back to the townhouse this evening.
Just so that I am prepared for tonight - I want to confirm and ask a few questions on the "options" and note a couple things I noticed that may help with answers...
Internet connection type - should be easy, I assume there is a "cable modem" option.
SSID - I do not know what this means or what to choose
wireless encryption method (WEP, WPA, WPA2) - Which is best, or is there one I must pick due to computer used and such, I also want to get my Nintendo Wii accessing correctly, I saw these options on that setup, though it didn't work per my first message on the board. I assume whatever encryption method used needs to be chosen for the Wii?
wireless encryption password - I think I can handle this one
A couple of notes -
this laptop has this always on radar looking for wireless connections - how can I name my router so I know it's mine, other than the fact that it is the strongest signal. Maybe that's a network setting?
Thanks again, glad I came here.
Edit: I suppose I should add, just to ensure - in order to do this process through the url provided above, I need to be ethernet wired through the router to the modem? in order to access last night, I was straight into the modem, didn't seem to work wired through the router.

Wrt54g with the nintendo wii

I got my Nintendo to connect to my router easy but when I try to secure my router the Nintendo can't connect. I went to the linksys page in the wireless security tap and it asks for a passphrase but I don't know what that is or the or the key 1 spot either. Any help I would appreciate thank you. Also I don't know a lot about this stuff so please explain....
Thank you...

The passphrase will be WORD you use to generate your WEP security key. The ACTUAL key is whatever appears on key 1.
On your Wii, when it tries connecting to your wireless network and it asks for the passcode, input your key 1 values, NOT your passphrase.

Wireless Router Dropping download speeds

I have a WRT310N router. Ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard, my wireless download speeds decrease the further I get away from the machine. While my signal indicator is full strength, my speed drops from 16mbps download to just around 1-2mbps. I've upgraded to the latest firmware, turned off any potentially conflicting wireless devices (baby monitor, Wii, etc) and nothing seems to effect. Interestingly, my upload speeds remain uneffected.
Any ideas?

Did you reset the router after upgrading the router's firmware..If not then,reset the router and reconfigure it from the scratch.
