Is my usb device compatible?

Wirenut · 12-10-2006, 06:26 PM

Hello!,
I was just wondering if I could use this device to connect online with my wii!
http://wifi.consumerelectronicsnet.c...e.jsp?id=32888
it has 2 modes.peer to peer and access point.Any and all help is much appreciated.

The wii has wifi capability on its own, you don't need a wireless card.
Even so I don't belive it would work.

I was just browsing e-bay and saw a small usb ap that the seller says works and mine is virtually the same.also i think you are misunderstanding.wii has wifi capability but needs wireless access to the network.

I did misunderstand, I didn't read the product description. It might work but that site says its $129. You can get the official nintendo brand wifi usb for about $40.
That can share internet to the wii wirelessly.

maybe set the IP where your USBs are connected to outside your routers DMZ.. worth a shot

For the wep key are you using the passphrase? You might need the actual encreption key.

Wirenut · 12-12-2006, 02:18 AM

Nintendo will be releasing a dongle you can attach to the Wii's usb ports that will allow a wired connection sometime in first quarter of 2007. It will cost $30 I believe.

wii.nintendi.com takes you to some shite site. Why are you yelling anyways? Are you just incompetent?

I think he probably meant wii.nintendo.com . He probably missed the button, they are right next to each other.

Go to your router settings. The same place you type in your wep phrase, it should have generated multiple keys. Use the one that is selected.

earlier in the thread i said that all the wep keys were starred out like a password so i dont know what it is.
