Nintendo Wii Help

I am having the same problem. I am using a wired connection with a NON nintendo LAN adapter and a cossover cable. I have tried a reg cat 5 cable and it did not work. I call Nintendo and they say it is the LAN adapter not being one made by nintendo. I should also mention that our internet is a broadband Air card so that creates a whole other set of issues.

All I want to do is open the wii shop channel so I can add my point card and get some Download tracks for rock band 2. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I was told I can get a Cradle point which takes the broadband signal and coverts it to wi-fi.

Check the the technical support page of Nintendo to see if your problem falls under any particular listed category:

If you can't identify your problem there, check your router's technical support page. If you use a Linksys router, here is the page:

If none of the above works, try contacting your ISP for technical support.
