Can't get it connected to my router!!!

We got a Netopia router (I forget whichmodel)a couple of weeks ago and since then I've been having ALOT of troubles trying to get my Wii recognizing the dang thing! sure I can connect a couple of times here and there but very rarely. Does anyone else have troubles connecting their Wii to the interwebs? because we're trying everything we can think of: We tried changing the channels on the router, we tried unplugging the computer and the Wii for a few minutes and plugging it back up. Any ideas?

It's probaly because the Nintendo Wii does not support your router. Try to get a more popular brand like, Linksys, D-Link, or ******. The Wii works AWESOME with these routers! NEVER and I mean NEVER get a Netgear router! They suck!Tech-Man08

You may be right man because I had a Linksys before I got the Netopia and that worked...well not perfect but it worked pretty well.

I really wanna hook the Linksys in my room and amplify the signal strengthbut my dad got on the horn with tech support and told us that we need a modem or something, so we can't get it to work right now:(

I got a Linksys WRT54GL which I've flashed with custom firmware (DD-WRT), works fine.

Netgear routers are fine. D-Link is the brand to avoid, there products hasn't been good for years.

When people get problems is it usually because they don't know how to configure their routers.

TC: Do you have any encryption on the network?

1) check your router settings

2) Change the channel to 1 or 11

3) Consult a Wii FAQ or error center

We do have an encryption but I know what the WEP key is.

The problem is that I usually have to do a connectioin test like a billion times in order to recognize the router and even then it still doesn't recognize it all too well
