Nintendo Wii Discussion

I'm not sure why, but the Wii seems to have trouble operating on the default channel on wireless routers.  Mine worked just fine, but I had to change the channel on both my uncle's router and for one of my friends.

I don't remember the channel it needs to be on, but that might be a place to start checking.

Any why the hell doesn't the DS support WPA? It doesn't have to be WPA2, but c'mon people.  WEP can be hacked in about 10 - 15 minutes if you know what you're doing. I hate that I have to run my whole network at a lower security setting just for the DS.  I even thought about running a seperate network segment off of my main network's DMZ with a wireless access point specifically for the lower encryption on the DS. WTF Nintendo? I love the DS, but how about a firmware update or something that lets us use WPA?

channel 11 if i recall correctly

[Tynstar]

Channel 1 or 11


WEP or WPA doesn't matter to me. I just turned on WEP on my router for the first time in 5 years.

Nintendo is only a slight whore.

Metroid Prime 3 to launch in the US on August 20 from the evil site

So, I'm slightly interested to see if Composers correspond to characters.

Sora and Riku for the win.

I'm having a problem getting online. I'm using a wireless router. I did the test connection and it was successful. I can view the news & weather. I just can't get on the Wii Shop Channel. When I try the Wii Shop Channel, it just stays on one particular screen and does nothing for a few hours. How do I change the channel to either 1 or 11?

Hit it with a big rock until it switches.

Wii?
Wiimote?
Wiitarded.
Kams doesn't like wii.
Every time i play the wii, I can't help but feel like it's just a cheap gimmick; a gamecube with a power glove.
The system isn't even capable of 720p HD output. C'mon.
I  end up playing wii every few weeks/months, and every time..i walk away feeling like everything could have been accomplished just as well with a control pad or joystick. also, that sensor bar blows ass. I haven't experienced such lousy wireless since the early 90s.
Oh well, you get what you pay for. Cough up another $200 and get a real system, I mean, a 360.

Wow, you, Tondog, and TheMalignedLeon need to make a group.

Anyways, to be honest, the games up to now have been.... gimmicky. I hope that when the big guns come out that this trend changes.

Hey, I'm a Wii supporter!

But most of the games so far have been gimmicky crap. I will be really disappointed in it if they don't move beyond that territory and get more games with substance. DS is kind of suffering the same thing right now.

[Tynstar]

How do I change the channel to either 1 or 11?

It is somewhere in the setting of your router.

The only two games I have so far are WiiSports and Zelda. Both fantastic.

The Wii is the way of the future. I'm a die-hard Sony fan and I opted for a Wii instead. That's gotta say something.

Go get Castlevania: Portrait Of Ruin and let that take over your life. Quite possibly the best game on DS right now.

[Tondog]

It can't be. Phoenix Wright or Hotel Dusk is. DS is the savior of the adventure genre.

[Kamino]

ds sucks too.
I had a ds for the last year(still do) rarely used it...just bought a psp last week. goes to work with me daily. sony ftw!

[Tondog]

I'm using my DS a lot more than other systems lately. I can see where someone wouldn't like DS much if you aren't a fan of platformers, adventures, puzzle games, or those odd brain age type games like I am. There isn't much else of note on the system.
