Hi All

Does anyone here use a DLINK DI 624 wireless router for their Wii net connection. I have one which I can (most of the time) get working wirelessly on my pc. However on the Wii, I can find the router in the config screens, however it just wont connect.

If anyone here has the 624 and it working wirelessly with the Wii, I would love to know what you did.

Cheers.

Silence - I would be interested to know your configs as I have tried everything on mine. When I try to connect I keep getting an error code stating that I cannot connect to the net. I have looked up stuff on the net and I am pretty much at a loss after a few full days of configuring.....

okay, i'm back.
Here are my wireless settings.

I have crossed some stuff, but the code you chose at the bottom should be a 10-digit number, and the SSID is the name of the wireless network.

Do you have a WEP key setup on the router ? If you do, you need to enter this in your Wii setup.

Thanks for reminding me, the Wii can only connect wirelessly using WEP.

Thanks for that I will have to give it a try. I have set the wireless numerous times with and without a WEP key or basically no security to see if that would help, however nothing would happen

Alas it did not work again... I might try it again tommorrow or something. I know the key is right because that what I used to login, however the wii will find the router, and when I try to connect it says the internet cannot be found. Am I missing something else??

How do you mean? As in is it on the list of "approved" devises to connect to? If so I am not sure, I wouldnt even know how to find out...

Are you using the password to get into the router on the wii? If so, you should be using the 10-digit number under HEX Key.

I have the DLink DI624 at home, at the moment I'm at work but when I get home I'll be more then happy to run through my settings with you though. Not sure if it'll do you much good though, as my Wii automatically configured with the router etc etc.

Shall try anyway though.

I used to have something similar to this one (the DSL-G604T) before I sold it and got a Netcomm NB5+4W.

The fact that it can find the Router, but not connect to it, suggests that you maybe turned on MAC Address filtering and didn't add the Wii's MAC Address to the filter. Add the Wii's MAC Address to the filter, or turn the filter off. Let me know if this solves anything.

On a side note, use WPA instead of WEP, unless you have a DS and require WEP for that. WPA is more secure then WEP.

Little of topic, can someone tell me, which model is the DLink that you can uses as a access point?

For example - Plug the Dlink into the back of your PS2 via ethernet cable and it will connect to your wireless broadband modem/router so you have access to the net on your ps2.

Pretty sure the DI624 does this Zoidy. I've got my wirless router hardwired into my PC / modem, to send the signal wirelessly to my wii / laptop, if that's the same thing?

Matty, try using channel 1 or channel 11.

Also, you need to use WEP in the first slot (as shown in Silence's configuration). The Wii will only connect on Slot 1.

Turn on Internet and WiiConnect24 in your system settings.
Updating your router's firmware is also recommended.

How exactly are you testing your connection? Does it connect when you try to check for system updates? how about connecting to the weather channel or Wii shop?

My Wii works on my old router and my new router with ANY channel, but does perform better with Channel 1 then with any other channel. Go with hainaku's advice and try Channel 1.

Another thing I can think of: Once I placed my Wii directly next to my router, and this caused the signal to become bad. If your Wii is too close to the router or too far away, this might also be the issue.
Place the Wii anywhere between 2-25 metres away from the router.
