Wii Shop+Internet work, WiiConnect24 doesnt...

[FireFreek]

I know it's strange but it's true. No matter what I do, I'm always connected to the internet with my connection, but never WiiConnect24. I'm guessing my Wii is possessed by the devil:mad5: , but then i'd say it's evil. I dont plan on paying 35 bucks for a wi-fi adapter, so i could use someones advice.

Yes my WiiConnect24 is on, and the disc light thing..
I get error 51330
I have a NETGEAR WGR614 v5 router.
Everything works right but Everybody Votes, News, and Forecast Channels. They've never worked before.
Plus, this Wii is new, bought it yesterday.

*sigh* Sorry, not bothering to answer yet another one of these threads.

I'm getting the idea that my problem is a stupid one. Surely someone can answer something as easy as that?

Try using the search bar to the right, you should find some pointers.

I tried searching. Do you recommend a certain key word? Also, I just Added a DNZ to my Wii, yet this hasn`t helped. Can someone other than this guy help me?

lol, try browsing through the wii online forum, you may find your answer. :thumbsup:

I think the problem is my router. On the Nintendo Wi-Fi website, mine wasn't a compatible router. Though I'm gonna try to update the firmware as soon as my mother get's off the phone.

AGAIN: My router is WGR614v5

congrats on getting your wii by the way. Does it say on the box for your router that it is 'wi-fi certified'?
If it isn't then there is a chance that this is the problem.

Heh, i've had this router for a few years, and i've lost the box. But i'll see if i can find a box image online.
Also I just got the latest firmware, so i'll check on that too.

Hmm ok, try going through your router's settings by typing this :

192.168.1.1

That should work,

Well i'm guessing that all hope is lost for me to get any connection directly from my router. The only thing i haven't tried is setting up a LAN network. I'm not completely sure on how to do this, but i could give it a go if you all say it's worth a try.

On the other hand, if that doesn't work, what would be the cheapest way to get connected. I have a few in mind:

• Buy compatible router and replace old one ($30-100)
• Buy Wi-Fi adapter ($35)
• Buy compatible router to extend the network of my current one ($30-100)

Of course i could buy a router off of Ebay for like $10-20

Any other ideas would be helpful.

I say you should definatly invest yourself in a new router, one that you know will work (check with a sales assistant or have a look on the box for 'wi-fi certified').
You won't regret it

Or i could just check nintnedo's wifi page for compatible ones. :yesnod:

Look what I just found:

Netgear WGR614v5 * Rarely connects sucessfully to the service

I cant believe i missed this. BTW the asterisk means 1 star out of 5

I dont feel like spending any money on a router, so i'll just try as hard as i could to be one of those rare people.
