Faulty Wii? Hardware issues?

[surfinrach90]

My problem is the Wiimote. I'll be playing a game (so far Wii Sports and Cars) and sometimes the controller will just disconnect or shutdown. Also the wii cursor isn't that smooth on the Wii Menu. When I move it fast, it has rocky movement, especially when I get near the edges of the screen.

The rocky movement could be because your far away from your sensor bar, it goes like that with mine as my soffas pretty far from the sensor bar, just try sitting closer, and as for the controller I can't help you there sorry

Hi I'm not all that sure whether I have a problem with the sensor bar or the wiimote. Evererything appears to be perfectly fine apart from when I have to move forwards or backwards (for example baseball, tennis, bowling etc.) any ideas?

When I setup the Wii at my aunt's house on Christmas Eve I too noticed that once you go past a certain distance the Wiimote just struggles to communicate with the Wii's Sensor Bar. At her house, with the Sensor Bar on top of the tv, it was about 8-10 feet.

It not a problem, just a general question, didn't know where else to put it.

Can the Nintendo USB Wifi dongle be used with anything else other than the Wii & DS. I've seen descriptions of third party dongles been able to let other devices to connect, and was wondering is this apples with the Nintendo USB or if it can only be used with the Wii & DS.

i think so

the dongle is made by Buffalo, check their website, they have one which have the same shape, and if you check the "Nintendo" USB dongle, it's written "powered by Buffalo" on it, because Buffalo made that thing FOR Nintendo with their logo.

but i bet you can use any kind of USB Wi-Fi dongles around, it'll just detect the Wi-Fi connection as it detect a wireless router.
