I’ve finally configured my wireless router for my Wii, after changing the channel. My computer (I have two, one being the computer that has the wired connection, and my personal one in my room with a wireless connection) now cannot connect to the wireless network.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, would that mean I have to disconnect one to access online for the other?
I had a hell of a lot of difficulty setting up my connection for the Wii, however I don’t have any problems accessing the network now. I’ve been on with my computer, my Wii, and my friends laptop at the same time, so I’m guessing it’s something with either your router or your connection.
my wii first connected to my router no problem and stated downloading the update which took over half an hour then an error accord, and when i go to my cusies place and attempt to conect to the wireless it strugles to find the router, and i know unlocking it wont change that, cid how did u manage to connect ur wii to d netz
Go to Nintendo’s tech support. The original problem for me was that my Wii and my computer were using the same wireless signal, which created too much interference for the other to work.
It doesn’t work with the DS because the DS is getting too much interference from the Wii.
I’m thinking of purchasing a Nintendo Wi-Fi USB adapter so I don’t have to switch wireless channels for me to go back and forth between my Wii and computer.

It has nothing to do with my wii, i have had both online it is just that when one of the features of my router is turned off I can use my DS online but then my internet is slower, my PC internet gets 2X slower then normal.

actually i might be having that same problem, here i have 2 computers on the wireless network and when the desktop is turned off i can find the router no trouble but when i do the conection test it fails and gives me an error code, how did u change it
One cannot work with the other from what I can see, so you can only work one at a time. If you want to change wireless channels, Nintendo tech support has a bunch of routers' IP addresses, just find the model.
Router’s have 11 channels, and by default are on channel 6. Changing the channel may change inteferance levels for your Wii, but will mess up anything else that’s using that channel. My computer, for example, couldn’t connect to the network again on any other channel although it could find the signal, I had to change it back to 6.
