WRT160N and nintendo wii error 52130

Please can anyone suggest how to get Wii working wirelessly with this router. Error code 52130 occurs regardless of whether I use static or allocated IP address. Suspect firewall issue but I don't know what to change. Encryption WPA (tried PKA & TKIP - nothing works). Saw suggestion that wii required IP address of format 192.168.2.xxx but linkysys DCHP list restricted to 192.168.1.xxx

Number 1 suggestion is to put the IP address of the Wii to 10 addresses above your highest PC number.
IE if your computer is .100 put your Wii at 110 or higher.
  Number 2 suggestion turn on DMZ and put the Wii IP address into it. That way you are outside the router firewall. The only reason I suggest this is because 1 it makes your Wii run faster and 2 I personally doubt nothing will happen to it (Hacker wise) because it does not function like a standard computer like the xbox does.
 Number 3 suggestion add the DNS address of your ISP in and do not auto do those. (sometimes the Wii will not pull them)
 And number 4 suggestion is Do not use WPA Nintendo WIFI and Wii Connect 24 do not support WPA fully. WEP is supported, however.
 I personally do not even use WPA or WEP because of the problems with them and networking.
With Knowledge… Impossible means nothing.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • WRT150 and the Wii Error 51330

    I am having trouble getting my Wii on the internet with my new wireless router. It see's my router and a couple neighbors but it will not get pass the connection test I get Error 51330

    I was not able to get my Wii to work with the WRT300N router until I changed the security to WEP. The Wii would not connect using WAP (along with 3 computers and my wireless printer).

  • 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.

  • Ps3 or nintendo wii

    Whats the Model number of your Router? Is your PS3 and Nintendo are Wired to the Router or Wireless? 
    Whats the Wireless Settings you have setup on your Router? What is the exact error message you are getting it on your PS3 and on your Nintendo while connecting to your wireless network. 

  • 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."

  • Panasonic Viera TH-50PE8U and the Wii

    My husband and I recently purchased our first HDTV.  Before now, we relied on a boxy Toshiba from the early '90s!  We ended up with a Panasonic Viera TH-50PE8U.
    We were able to get the cable working, but so far have been unsuccessful connecting the Wii.  I can't wait to play Guitar Hero on my new 50" but so far no gaming for us.  What's the trick?

    Unlike the Xbox and PS3 the Wii does not have high definition content so it lacks a HDMI connection.
    You connect it either with component or composite cables.
    Choice 1: Composite may be best described as the old RCA VCR dubbing style cables with red, white and yellow male end cables for three connections (2 audio and one video). Yellow is typically video on each end of the devices. Composite is the most typical Wii hookup and your TV has those inputs and the Wii includes those cables. You will need to press the TV/Video button on the hand control and select Video 1 or Video 2.
    Choice 2: Component hookups are superior in quality. I have a Wii hooked up that way to my Panasonic 50 plasma and it looks and sounds noticeably better on component. You will need a special Wii component cable made for the Wii and it is sold at Best Buy. Nintendo makes one and Rocketfish (which I bought). On the end connecting to the TV there will be three cables for video and two for audio connections. If you use this hookup you will see Component 1 and 2 selections using the TV/Video button on the Panasonic hand control.
    The first first two choices descibe hooking the Wii up to a standalone Pansonic and without an optional surround sound receiver. If you really want your Wii to sound and look great (as well as everything else on your TV), buy a nice surround sound system and run the Wii to the receiver (along with any other auxiliary devices like cable or satellite DVR, bluray players, DVD players, Xbox, PS3. For optimal results these devices (except for the Wii which is limited to component or composite) all connect using HDMI cables to the input HDMI jacks on the receiver (so you need at least 4 input jacks). Then a single HDMI cable runs out from the receiver to the TV's HDMI input port. That runs everything beautifully and you will control which device is being currently used with the receiver hand control. To recap...it's a very simple setup concept....all devices connect with cables (preferably HDMI cables) into the surround receiver and the TV itself only has its power cord plugged in and one HDMI cable coming into it. Every media display that requires video flows into the TV from the receiver's single out HDMI cable.
    Buy a nice receiver and speakers and make sure it has plenty of input HDMI connections and your home theater will be awesome. Expect to spend $500 to $800 for a decent receiver and speakers. Don't waste money on a surround system that doesn't meet the standard of at least 4 HDMI inputs. Buy plenty of HDMI cables and make sure they are long enough...6 foot cables are usually a good bet, 3 footers not so good. Shop around for these as you can way overspend for HD cables. I have the cheapest cables and they work as well as cables that are very expensive. YMMV.
    HTH.

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Tethering iPhone to Nintendo wii

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

    "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."

  • 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
