We just got a dsl router an I'm attempting to setup the wii to see it. Thing is that it does but its not takeing the WEP key

If it's a new router why don't you try using WPA, it's more secure than WEP.

Don't apologize, I'm just asking why you don't try WPA.

cause I cant, it maybe possible but I dont know

Do you have the manual for the router?

If not post the make and model and I'll see what I can find.

squall_01 · « **Reply #6 on:** August 23, 2009, 03:48:28 PM »

yes, but by default that is what it came with it probably could be changed.

Then just read the manual and see what it says about WPA. Many new routers will support WPA, but depending on the firmware that they are running will default to WEP.

yeah

Quantos · « **Reply #11 on:** August 23, 2009, 04:04:41 PM »

Then check the manual to see what it says about WPA.

squall_01 · « **Reply #12 on:** August 23, 2009, 04:10:33 PM »

it probably will allow me, just that its all setup now.

Quantos · « **Reply #13 on:** August 23, 2009, 04:11:37 PM »

So it's all working fine now? The Wii will see it and access it?

yes, I realzed what I was doing wrong after I tried six times or so. I dont have any say in that I only use it cause its there an I dont have to go threw the people down there any more.

What is the manufacturer of the router? I read somewhere that Wii has problems with a certain type of password but I forgot which one... Think it was WPA, maybe something else...

EDIT: Oops... Note to self: Always check post date and for another page!

squall_01 · « **Reply #18 on:** August 26, 2009, 05:21:11 AM »
