WRT110 with Nintendo Wii

I have the Linksys WRT110 wireless N router, and I cannot seem to connect my Nintendo Wii to the internet through the router. When I search for my access point, my router does not pop up...I can see neighbors' connections but not mine. I am able to find my router with my desktop, various laptops, and wifi phones/ipods so it is only a problem connecting to the Wii. I have searched a little bit tonight online, and other people have had the same problem with this router; however, I was not able to find anyone posting solutions to the problem. Thus, I am wondering if anyone here has this same router and has found a solution in connecting the Wii?

The Wii is wireless B and G mode capable, so be sure your router is not set for wireless N only. Your router is set to mixed mode by default, so that might not be your issue.
I've read that the Wii sometimes has problems detecting networks running in certain modes. You might want to experiment by temporarily setting your router to wireless B or G only.
You might also need to consider updating your routers firmware if you don't already have the latest version.

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:

Sharing internet connection with powerbook and nintendo wii through airport

i have been trying to share my internet connection from my imac to my powerbook and nintendo wii. i've been unable to accomplish neither. i've opened the sharing preferences, chosen "share your connection from built in ethernet" which is how my imac is connected to the internet, and then chosen "to computers using airport". if i then set my airport options to automatic channel, encryption using 40 bit wep and set a 5 character password as it says if you "plan to share your internet connection with non-apple computers", (and then turn internet sharing on) shouldn't i be able to connect either/both my powerbook and my nintendo wii? or is it necessary to have some other piece of hardware or go through some other steps?
thanks in advance for any help.

I got a macbook for college and I had the same problem with connecting my Wii to the macbook's connection. But lo and behold, the internet's a wonderful place! I tried this out (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070514152251515) and it worked! I'm not sure about the powerbook bit though, sorry. Hope it works for you too.

Problems with connection between nintendo wii and cisco 871w.-

Dears,
I have a problem connecting my Nintendo Wii via wireless with a cisco 871w.
I tested with different encryption (WEP, WPA2 and open) to no avail.
The console gives me errors when testing the connection (number 51 330).
Any other device I connected to the wireless network works flawlessly (Notebook, iphone, nokia phones)
The network configuration to be open is:

I change the channel, the encryption. Leave the console with fixed ip, not works!
Thanks for your help.

We recently switched ISPs. To connect to the new ISP our Airport Extreme has to be in bridge mode. Now our Nintendo Wii won't connect to the Airport. Is it an issue with bridge mode that is causing this?

We recently switched ISPs. To connect to the new ISP our Airport Extreme has to be in bridge mode. Now our Nintendo Wii won't connect to the Airport. Is it an issue with bridge mode that is causing this? We're running two Macs wirelessly with no problems. And the Wii did connect before the switch.

Hello and thanks for the reply. I gave this a try, turned off Airport on one of the computers and tried the Wii again. Still no connection. I should say that we're also running an old G4 (wired) off the Airport as well, with no problems. I've tried many things to make the Wii to work, including power cycling the Airport, turning off the security settings in the Airport, resetting the Airport to it's default and redoing the network, resetting the network setting on the Wii (several times), moved the Airport closer to the Wii, all with no luck. The Wii "sees" the Airport but won't connect to it. I'm at a loss for anything else to try, so any help is appreciated.

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.

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 Remote and Remote Buddy work only in Safe Mode

I'm having trouble with getting Bluetooth to work in normal mode. I can connect to BT devices but the connection is lost within a couple of minutes. In Safe Mode, however, the connection is stable. I am using a Nintendo Wii Remote and Remote Buddy software (both of which are really cool). Also, a Sony Ericsson Z520a phone works well in safe mode but not in normal mode. What can be done to get things working properly?

Here is an update: connecting the iMac G5 with the Wiimote through Bluetooth using the Remote Buddy software works IF I do nothing but connect in normal startup mode. Waiting a few minutes after connecting allows me to then use the Wii as a remote. What is happening!! Please, someone respond. Thanks in advance.

Mario kart Nintendo Wii online error all the time,...

Hi all,
I have a problem with Nintendo's Wii Mario Kart. I never had this issue with BT Broadband ADSL, only since being on Infinity option 2. When I try to go into an online game with Mario Kart Wii it keeps coming up with an error 91010, Disconnected from data during data transmission. Error Code:-91010. I have looked it up on the internet and it must come down to an Infinity problem. I have tried going back to 802.11 b/g/n (Recommended) but that makes no difference also I have activated the DMZ Enabled with Wii and also activated ports 1-65535 on TDP/UDP but still no luck, the error keeps popping up all the time.
Has anyone come across this problem before and resolved it?. I would like some help because its becoming very annoying and I luv having a blast on Mario kart Wii online its a real shame.
Thanks,

I am just hoping this will solve it, be a shame if not cause it would be a waste of chrimbo saved up monies!. . Thanks though for the help. My next question would be if Wii online games are having these issues why dont BT get on the case and sort the matter!.
It may not fully solve it, but it WILL definitely help
It only appears to be Mario Kart on the Wii, that's why it's so unusual - other games will also perform better as they'll be over ethernet too

WRT54GS and Nintendo Wii

I have just added a Nintendo Wii to my home network controlled by a WRT54GS (v6) router. It works fine - my family is able to play games with players over the internet. I am also able to use my home network from XP and Vista PCs.
The problem is when doing both at the same time (a regular occurance).
As soon as I start browsing the internet while the kids are playing the Wii causes the router to crash (it restarts). It is then quite difficult to get it back working again (everything has to be rebooted).
I have the latest firmware instaled on both Wii and router (e.g. router version is v1.52.5).
My Cable modem uses DHCP and wireless security is WPA2 Personal/AES, which I have checked on Nintendo web site is supported by them.
What could be causing this problem?

Hi, I think I have narrowed this down somewhat with some testing. Believe it or not, this only happens when browsing the internet with my favourite browser - Google Chrome.. I don't seem to get this with Firefox. So it looks like The Chrome browser is doing something a bit non-standard and causing this problem. Greg

Tethering iPhone to Nintendo wii

How do I connect iPhone 4s to Nintendo wii for an Internet connection.

From another discussion:
"Currently only the iPhone 4 and 3GS, with iOS 4.3+, can be used as a hotspot for other devices - the hotspot functionality is not enabled on the iPad."

Nintendo WII uses OPERA Browsers. The WII system should load the best opera browser. The problem is that it does not load flash player 8. [email protected] 619-366-9707

That's probably more a problem to ask Nintendo or Opera Software?

Connecting Nintendo Wii To Laptop

hi there i am at university and have just recently got a Nintendo wii, due to lack of space i just wanted to know is there any way i can connect my games console to the laptop and play on there?

http://www.elgato.com/index.php?file=products_eyetvhybridna
You need the EyeTV Hybrid. It is USB 2.0, so won't work on the older TiBooks, if that is the computer you have. Unless you get a USB 2.0 PCCard.

Video, DVD, Nintendo Wii and live Television.

I have had my BT Vision box for about 4 months now. I have not been able to play DVD's or Video's or play on my Wii without disconnecting all the Scart leads and having only one in the back of the TV...
Is there a way to have all my Scart leads plugged in and be able to flick between the DVD, Video, Wii and live Television? Please Help.
Solved!

What other input options does your TV have - does it have an AV (red, yellow and white inputs). If so I'd stick the Wii through that without using the scart adapter that comes with the Wii.
Those multi scart adapters will do the job but they are a bit clumsy and you often end up wondering what input you're watching. Does your VCR have 2 Scart Sockets (normally 1 output only and one In/Out)
Other than that I would go for (are you sitting comfortably) -
DVD into VCR (In/Out socket)
VCR out into Vision Box
Vision Box to TV
That way, the last thing you switch on should take control of the Scart socket.
The other option would be:
DVD into Vision Box
Vision Box into TV
Aerial Lead to VCR input
VCR Output aerial to Vision Box
Vision Box aerial to TV
That way you could watch the VCR via good old fashioned RF - like I say this assumes your TV has an AV input and your VCR has 2 Scart sockets. - I'm also assuming your TV is an older model without a component AV option?
As Sparko's only had the service for 4 months then I assume (s)he has a Black vbox and they don't do RF out so then second option is out. The first option you suggested should just work though without the need for a switch.
