Ok i have a Nintendo Wii.
But i cant connect it to the natternet for some reason.
The broadband modem is just a couple of feet away and the instruction booklet may as well be written in swahili.

Can anyone tell me how to connect it to the internet, in simple laymans terms please. Anything containing any sort of geek language makes my brain melt.
Cheers all.

I'm pisseed now so can't be arsed.

If, when i look here tomorrow nobody has solved it for you then i'll try.

quick thought is - is your wireless security enabled? if so - try unable it andf take it from there..

Make sure you enter the network password, NOT the router password.

Hope this helps.

Ive got one of the Orange Livebox jobbers and had to press one of the two buttons, funnily enough labelled 1 and 2, at the same time as synching the Wii. Dunno if this helps you.

Also had to try different combo's of the network password ie upper or lower case

I take it you can get to the stage of searching for access points on the Wii, and when you do you can see your router listed? Is it at this point it just won't connect?

What make and model router do you have?

There's a step by step guide here. I don't know if it is sufficiently un-geek for you.

Thank you for your replies so far.
Not sure of make and model of router, i have just looked and all is says is D-Link, provided by TalkTalk, and yes Harry Monk.
Thanks for the link Idrach. I'll give that a go.
When you say security enabled, do you mean have i secured it to stop the neighbours etc using my broadband? Then yes Supermatelot.

Is it one of these two DLink routers?

Might be easier to resolve the problem if we can identify exactly what router it is.

When you select your router on the Wii, do you get any error message trying to tell you why it won't connect?
