I have a Linksys Wireless Access Point (WAP54G) connected to a Linksys Wired Router (BEFSR41). I have SSID (broadcasting off), MAC filtering and WPA (TKIP) on. I had to change the AP from 802.11 G only to Mixed (B & G).

DLink DI-624 Revision C w/ firmware 2.76.

Wii is wirelessly hooked up to it using WPA-PSK (TKIP) encryption, Super G only mode, assigned a specific IP on the router, UPnP + Gaming Mode disabled with absolutely no ports open.

Wii connects consistently online and router has been stable since I first set up the Wii to it (2 weeks ago). Surprisingly even when I've loaded the internet bandwidth with BitTorrent. Closing all open ports and turning both UPnP mode and Gaming mode off seems to be the best way to run this router for me. Any open port or UPnP enabled causes my router to reset on its own alot.

Just bought a D-Link DSL-G624T router with included adapter for £50 and set it up in a few minutes. First time I tried anything like this but was really easy!

The wireless signal is really strong and fast.

Netgear WGT624v3

I'm using a Netgear WGT624v3. It says my Wii's MAC code is invalid. It worked like a charm when I turned MAC filtering off and used a WPA passcode. I switched it to a WEP passcode and everytime I enter the correct new passcode , it says its an invalid passcode.

Get the Wii's mac code and enter it into your routers config. Then into your PC/Laptop

Toad, I'm not sure if your reply was to me. So if it was for me, that's where I'm getting the error. I log into my router and try to enter the Wii's MAC address and thats when it tells me its invalid.

I got a BELKIN FD57633-4A

Works like a charm


I got WEP Security enable with router, simply adding password or code for WEP into Connections settings or manual setup.

O ye if you have MAC Filtering enabled, you should add Wii MAC address

I'm using Netgear WGR614 802.11g Wireless Router and it's kinda crap because it can't really handle going through 3 walls so disconnects me now and then.

Using a Linksys WRT54g, with Tofu's HyperWRT. The Wii connect perfectly the first time, but subsequent connections required me to switch the router to mixed mode(b&g) and change the channel to 1(previously on 4)

I'm running almost exactly the same setup. The wireless access point is cool in that is allows wireless access into a wired network. Using the same settings you have, my Wii has no trouble getting a connection.

I'm using a Netgear DG834G, and after 10 minutes of not sure why it wasn't working, I reset the connection settings on the Wii, turned off MAC filtering on the router, let the Wii reconnect, entered the WEP key, and now it works a charm.

Hey, i'm completely new here (this being my first post). I've attempted to read up on routers and i've read through this thread, but i'm still a tad confused. I have an 8mps (supposedly) broadband connection through a USB ASDL WAN adapter and i'm desperate to get my wii online. What's going to be the cheapest and best way of doing this? I would very much appreciate some advice. Thanks.

The Linksys WRT54G can probably be purchased for about $50 give or take a few bucks. The setup is pretty simple. You would unplug the cable from your computer (that comes from the DSL modem) and plug that into the Linksys box. Then plug a new cable from the Linksys box to your computer.

Complete the Linksys setup and your Wii should go online no problem.

Thats it in a nut shell Have fun !
