[QUOTE="eyewho"]Yes, and that's something I should definitely add to the original post.
I think most of the time you can change your channel by typing 192.168.1.1 into the address bar of your browser. It will probably ask you for username and password. If you have not set up a user name or password for your router, leave the username blank and type in the password: admin
Hopefully this will fix your problem, as for not being able to play the things you downloaded online... I have no experience dealing with this so i dont know how to fix it, but the first thing i would try is delete one of your games and redownload it (which is free). That is assuming you get your connection to remain a little more stable.m_machine024
Ok. I typed yesterday the numbers in the address bar and it leaded me a google search. Just now, I tried going to the news channel and it works. Didn't work yesterday... well never worked before. Maybe it's because of what I typed the numbers in the address bar like you told me to. Through, I can't go on the web browser and wii shop channels now, but it already worked before.I was talking about the channels earlier (the things that I downloaded and that I couldn't use), not the games. Sorry, wasn't clear.
I have been thinking about what could be the problem. Maybe.
The router isn't connected in my computer in my room, it's plugged in an other computer in a room located two "floors" (forget the word in english lol) above my room. The distance is kinda far but my Wii and my computer can still connect to it. Through, the signal my Wii recieves is low. For my computer to connect to the router and connect to internet, I have bought and pluged a USB network adapter and I have to put it (the USB adapter) to channel 6 for it to work and connect. Do you think it could be related to my wii problems and stuff? And could the distant from my Wii and the router be a problem as well?
It's ok if you can't help me. At least you tried. Thanks. Appreciate.
Well i'd really like to help if I can, but i dont know what else to tell you now. If those numbers led you to a google search that's an interesting problem. You would have a different Default Gateway than what the majority of the people would have. I'm not exactly sure how to find that unless you miraculously still have windows 98. If you for some reason do have windows 98 on ANY of your computers, then you can go to Start, Run, and type in "winipcfg" and switch the drag down menu to your ethernet card, if it's not already showing you a default gateway. Then type in that number instead of the one i told you to type. A default gateway is like... your routers webpage, it has a lot of settings so you can change that around. But, i dont really think this is your problem, nor do i believe its because the router is too far away from your Wii. The USB connector could affect your wii, but i doubt that. I really dont know what to tell you. Try unplugging the wii from the outlet to flush the cache and when you plug it back in it should be RED instead of the faint orangish yellow. This means that wii connect 24 was disabled. Now just go through everything over again, try making a new network connection, testing it, and telling the wii to use that connection by default. Agree to the liscense agreement one more time and cross your fingers. That is all I can offer you, sorry if I can't fix your problem.
