The Biggest Connection Problem of All

[hotscones]

My PC runs on VISTA....

Officail USB Connector - INCONPATIBLE
Datel Wifi Max - Garbage on any system, even worse on VISTA (cannot change ANY settings whatsoever)

Someone, anyone, suggest a wifi port device i can use with my wii that meets the criteria:

1. Compatible with Windows VISTA
2. Not rediculously expensive, somewhere near the price of the official.
3. WORKS

If i annoyed anyone with this post i apoligise, irritation is not the purpose, this is a cry for help.

EDIT: Another option would be to assist me in getting WiFiMax to work, either by instruction or directiong me to instruction. My efforts at this have been in vain.

Just get a wireless router, cuz I had the same problem.

Aight, i was thinkin of the Linksys WRT54G due to the good reviews in the sticky.

Still open to suggestions tho.

Honestly, a WLAN router is your best bet. I have that router (version 5.0) and have not had a single problem that putting the Wii into the DMZ didn't fix.

 

[hotscones]

Hmm well, in that case, what one you suggest i get?

I have a netgear router and have vista and xp and nds and x box and they all work okay.

I was thinkin more along the lines of an exact model name.

Thanks for your input tho.

if you actually CHECKED the nintendo website you will know that VERSION 1.06 is out and is COMPATABLE WITH VISTA....

I placed this same question in one of the other threads. It seems that the new software only works with the 32-bit Vista and not the 64-bit. Anyone get it to work with Vista 64-bit?

YES I DID

I got VISTA priemium, and like a23 said, it doesnt seem to be compatible

Tho, i suppose i could try reinstalling AGAIN, tho i doubt it will make a difference.

I just got off the phone with the Nintendo wifi hotline. 64-bit versions of XP and Vista are not compatible with the wifi connector. The newest version of software, 1.06, will only work with 32-bit versions of XP or Vista. Argh!!!!

Heh, i cant even get thru to them.


Anyway, ive spent the last few hours screwing around with my pc setting and the official nintendo usb connector, and i actually managed to get it installed. (2.5 hours trying to download version 1.06 alone, but apparently i got the 32bit)

But now, of course, i get an error message.

Error code: 106070
There is a problem with the WiiConnect24 service, please try again later.

And guess what? the online support doesnt recognise that code.

Can anyone help me with that?

EDIT: My DS connects like a charm, but not so my Wii.
