Hi,

I know this is a bit off base, but is anybody else having problems connecting to Medal of honor today?

My buddies are trying to get the Wii online at a hotel. Extendedstay America. when i get my laptop online through the wireless, it connects, but i have to open a browser, and it redirects me to the hotels login page. the password is "djrd". THEN i can chat, play games and what-not. But getting the wii to do it is aggravating. The wii SEES the wireless for the hotel, but the internet test fails. when we open the browser on the Wii, it asks to setup a connection. I managed to get our PS3 online, but the wii is not being cooperative. Theres not alot on the web regarding this issue. I read a little about ICS through my laptop. I can get online wirelessly with laptop, then enable internet connection sharing through the ethernet and somehow the wii is supposed to get online, but i dont wanna leave my laptop in my buddies room. We also have the Sprint Mogul PDA smartphones that act as modems as well. (Its actually faster than the wireless at the hotel). Any info would be appreciated.

Why not just use the smartphones?

Net Gear, my friend.

can you be more specific. there are a lot of netgear routers.

As far as I can tell, the modem doesn't have anything on the bottom. I'll see if I can take a pic of the modem later, maybe that'll help figure out what kind it is.

The name and key might be in the back, but i'll need to check again. It's in a hard to reach place and its kinda heavy, so I only lifted it up.

Is it a modem that stands up vertically or does it lay down horizontally?

yo pro-gamer i need some help with my online wii, i bought smash bros the day it came out and to this day i have not been in an online match. i use wireless to my wii from my d-link wireless router, i can connect to nintendo wfc but it will not find a game for me no matter what time of day it is, also my network adapter is a broadcom 440x 10/100 intergrated controller so if thats the problem or w/e else, i just need to know i can game online cuz mk wii is out in 5 days and i must play online wit that game, thanks dude

you will need to use an adapter made from nintendo. if not then it won't work.

well, i plugged it into the back, and set the smartphone to connect internet sharing, but the wii never saw it.

dude so ur sayin i gotta buy the usb wi-fi connection thing that nintendo makes? but i have internet to my wii right now i jus cant play games online, so why would a nintendo usb wi-fi connection be any better than it is now it has to be somethin else and what do i buy

no. you might need the lan adapter because your connection might not be strong enough.

does the back of the smart phone have a spot were you hook up the ethernet cable?

No, its a mini-usb to regular usb.

then you can try the usb wifi connecter on it. But I don't know if it will work.

It stand vertically, and here's two pics of it, side and front.




Sorry that they're kinda tough to see, without the flash you can't see it at all, even with the lights on.

I have a question i hope some one can help out. I just got a wii and found out that you can use it for the internet. Do you need a computer to do this or can i hook the dsl cable into the wii.

Thanks,

no you don't need a computer and only the lan adapter can work by connecting it to your wii into your modem or router with an ethernet cable.
