Wii on the Internet :p

Calaen · Dec 17, 2006

Right How do I get my bad boy online?

I dont have a router, my Internet is provided by Telewest so I have a Cable going into a Modem then another cable going into my Computer.

Can I connect to the internet by buying something other than a router?

tris- · Dec 17, 2006

possibly a cross over cable and use ICS.

you tight ass

Raven · Dec 17, 2006

short term solution would be to disconnect the PC tinternet cable when you want to use the Wii, long term the best way it to use a router, can pick a second hand one up off ebay for £30ish i would have thought.

Calaen · Dec 17, 2006

Cost isnt an Issue I just was not sure

Pc is up stairs I have taken over the living room for my Wii, so How would I use a router with my Telewet connection?

Raven · Dec 17, 2006

could go wireless, with a hub near your Wii downstairs, think that's possible, though i have no idea about routers and wireless whatzits

Calaen · Dec 17, 2006

Yeah I am sure I can buy something that sticks in the usb port on the Wii I just have no idea about what I have to do with the PC though

Wireless router attached to the modem and the PC, Wireless game adapter attached to the ethernet port of the wii. Job done.

Raven · Dec 17, 2006

shouldn't have to do anything at all to the PC. as the PC and Wii would both be plugged into the router and the router plugged into the modem. would both work on their own.

nath · Dec 17, 2006

Sounds as though the pc and wii aren't within practical cabling distance of each other.

Erm, seems to be a lot of suggestions from people without Wii's.

Wii does not have an ethernet port, it only has two USB connections.

It was built in Wifi, and so the easiest way to connect it would be to get a wireless router, which is not going to cost you more than £50.

How do you turn it on? or do you have to buy a USB adapter.

Starman · Dec 17, 2006

Turn it on?

The Wii's Wi-Fi turns itself on and will scan for nearby Access Points.

I didn't know this i thought you had to buy a USB adapter.

Calaen · Dec 17, 2006

so did I ;p

Tilda · Dec 17, 2006

Aada, this renders your opinion moot on all things Wii

Cal, wireless router is all you need. Then you just play with the settings in the Wii.
What games do you have?

Calaen · Dec 17, 2006

Wii Sports obviously, Wii Play, Rayman, Zelda, Need For Speed Carbon
and Red Steel.

Just wanna get interweb set up so I can get some classics

Ch3tan · Dec 18, 2006

You know, this brings to mind a classic saying.

RTFM Freddys!

Aada · Dec 18, 2006

I just have that Monkey Ball game and Zelda + the other 2 free games.

Anyone wanna tell me how long it takes for fish to bite you're hook? i'm trying to get a fish so i can presumebly give to this cat but was trying for about an hour last night with no luck lol

Javai · Dec 18, 2006

Cal, we're also using cable with a whole netowrk of PCs (Hmm 5 at last count) on wired and then the 360, my laptop and the Wii on the wireless - you just need to pick a router that does both. I'm not the techie one in the house but we got the router from PC after burning the old one out (oops) so they can't be too uncommon

And as Starman says no need for any add-ons to the Wii but you will need to give it some of your internet settings if you've set up a firewall etc to stop your neightbours using your wireless connection

Calaen · Dec 18, 2006

Thanks Javai and everyone else that had some input

Aada you gotta press Z button I think to wiggle the line?

You have to catch 2 fish, the second drops on the floor and the cat runs back to its owner's house.

and as for Wireless u can either get a Wireless router or get that Nintendo USB Wireless dongle that should pick up the Wii from the PC.

Starman · Dec 18, 2006

I personally wouldn't suggest getting the USB Adapter has it uses ICS (XP SP2 Only) and is rather unstable.

Wii on the Internet :p
