what are you using?

MRXZERO · 02-25-2008, 10:09 PM

Ok, I'm up at college and my girlfriend got a Wii for Christmas. We can get it online at her house just fine on the wireless but up here at college they have enterprise-level encryptions and it asks for the WPA-PSK (TKIP) password and the internet up here has so many security things on it. I don't have a clue where to find this at since it's at school and not my own personal router. I've called and emailed the IT people here to see if they could help resolve it and they said they have no answer for it and I've tried to contact Nintendo with no success. Is there a way to find that password anywhere through my wireless connection? Also I just bought a LAN adapter that connects to the USB port on the back of the Wii to see if it will work that way because I can get on XBOX Live with my 360 up here when I'm plugged straight in, so I thought if I bought that Adapter for the Wii it would work. But it didn't and the error for that is always 52221 when I try to connect. The activity light and internet lights come on and flash like its receiving the internet but just can't get connected. Does anyone know anything about any of this? Thank you.

You should get your own router. Then the lan adapter will work.

Stevwen · 02-26-2008, 04:47 PM

Howdy.
I've had my wii up and running and connected to the internet since the first day that I brought it home, and Its never given me any trouble. I don't consider myself a computer whiz, but I can usually figure out what the problem is, (even if I can't fix it)
Long story short, one day my Wii stopped connecting to the internet. Or rather was "Unable to connect to the Internet." So I tried all the normal fixes, like cycling power to my router (Linksys model: WRT54GS) Cycling power to my Wii, testing the connection using my computer [which works fine] and anything else I could think of. (I didn't pick up my Wii and blow into one end however, even though this usually worked for my NES)
So I'm stumped.
Here's the kicker though. The Wii is still able to detect the internet, and informs me when I enter an incorrect WEP key. So it can detect the internet, knows when the WEP is wrong, but when I enter it correctly and perform the connection test, I get Error Code: 52030.

Help?

pro gamer · 02-26-2008, 04:51 PM

Use the lan adapter. I had the same prob. but i fixed it by using the lan adapter.

Stevwen · 02-26-2008, 05:01 PM

Lan adapter as in.... ?
(I mentioned that i wasn't the most technically savvy right?) lol

MRXZERO · 02-26-2008, 05:29 PM

I have one that I've tried to get to work up here before cause I have a laptop and a desktop and I wanted them both on wired connections since it's faster. My router wouldn't work up here cause of the security measures they take. Thanks though. Appreciate it.

Yes I have a router, I'm picking up an ethernet cable from Fry's, and I've checked the outputs and I still have enough slots to reserve one for my wii. Now its just the waiting game until my Lan Adapter arrives.

pro gamer · 02-27-2008, 03:37 PM

The lan adapter comes with an ethernet cable.

Whew! Thanks for the quick response, I was actually going out the door when I got the notification email. Saved me a cool $3

Rep for you good sir

Ooo First Post

My friend and I are both having troubles when it comes to playing each other on GH3. Just before we join each others game we're signed out (booted out) and Error Code: 86070 appears.
I believe we're both using the same router (some kind of Belkin - will say which model when i find out

), so i imagine we've got the same settings.
For both of us, this rarely happens when facing strangers but 100% everytime we try to play each other.
I'm not familiar with WEP/WPA/DNS. ect. But i've read that i need to change the settings of my router. This too i have no idea on changing.
My computer is running on Vista and guides i've come across explain in XP

Help would be greatly appreciated.

pro gamer · 03-03-2008, 07:45 PM

so you and your friend are using the same router?

Solidopc · 03-03-2008, 08:40 PM

OK, well i think ive screwed it al up now. I installed my usb connecter about a year ago, and it worked fine for a bit. Then i didnt have no online games to play, so didnt use it.

Just got BW2, so wanted to use it, and it wouldnt work at all. Got error code 209800.

So i was reading around, and saw people say uninstalling and reinstalling works for them. So i uninstalled my usb, and erased my connections on my wii.

Stuck my disc in, it was all going smooth. then a microsoft box pops up, warning me in bold writting, that continuing with the installment might damage my system, as it didnt have digital sig or something, and wasnt tested to work on microsoft.

I never got this the first time, and my usb is nintendo own make, not some cheapo one.

Well, i carried on anyway, and it said it had been installed, except when i plug my usb in, nothing happens. Apart from a box comes up to say there will be little or no connection at all, as the computor hasnt been assigned an ip address.

What is going on here? How come it wokred before, but not now? Please help me, i dont know what to do.

One more thing. I think i might buy a router thing, so i can have a wired connection. but i hear some dont work with some games, and some not at all.

Which one should i get that will work with everything, and is proven reliable with all you guys? I'm in the UK by the way, so wont know shops anywhere else.

Cheers fellas.
