New here, just bought the Wii a week ago. During setup I connected to my USR 8054 router and let the Wii update. All went well, and the Wii was later shut down. Last night was the first time trying to use wifi with my laptop, had to restart the router. First time I'd ever had to do this. Had seen this thread while the Wii was updating and it stayed in the back of my mind (very empty, lots of room back there). It'd be nice if there was a fix for just such an issue. I'm on wireless, so the router is it, there is no modem between the router and outside world.
