Please dont forget if you have broadband connect, lets say a 2, 8, or even 10 meg you have to share with otherd on the same exchange thats why when you sign up for broadband have a look a your ration 50:1 or 100:1 is average the for everyone IP Address (behaind a NAT) you share it with 50 or 100 other people basically they subnet the ip address so that you can get more networks out of one ip address also you have to keep in mind that you on a dynamic ip address where it can change everytime you reset you device and also if you have multiple device on the same 2.4ghz freqency then the signal can also get lost so all in all but a decent wireless router and set that to dhcp and turn on nat on the router and you'll have no problems that whay do and i never had an issuse, wait i did have on issues i reset my router and i lost connection to my wii so all i did is go into the wireless setting, keep all excisting setting and search for wireless network again and it was all fine after thats. Linksys router are now owned my cisco (leading router manufactures) and i have never had a problem with mine.

Thanks guys had trouble with my wii remote just cutting off when i took the nunchuk out, but after re-syncing with the tips on this page it seems to be working again

Wii remote works in games but the cursor doesn't appear in other channels(only sometimes when turned on its side). I searched through all the troubleshooters and found that under the sensitivity setting for the sensor bar I only had one blinking light. When I called customer service, they had me look through my digital camera at the sensor bar. I only saw a red light from the right side of the sensor bar. It turns out the sensor bar is faulty and we'll have to wait for a new one.
It's odd that the games still work, but we must only be playing through one sensor. Hope this can help others bypass the hours of searching and holding on the phone...

I suppose I should mention it, as Nintendo says I'm the only one they've heard of.
I got my Wii Sunday without a problem (I work at a Toys R Us), got it home once I got off work. Played Wii Sports and Rayman for a while, with some occasional lockups on load screens in Rayman. I figured it was the usual launch system stutters, and made do.
Then I tried Red Steel, which locked up on the Ubisoft intro movie, about five seconds in. And Zelda locked up on the "Secure the wrist strap" screen before it even got into the game.
Nintendo had never heard anything like it, and sent me a new one. Should be here soon.

My mate has the same problem. Got his from the game shop in UK exeter, freezes on many games wont play boxing at all, zelda froze couple of times. He hasnt played it for more than 10 mins yet without getting locked. Contacted The Game, where he brought it - they said Nintendo are the only ones who can help !!!

if it's still on warranty, tell the store they have to replace it since it's their policy
