Hi,
Welcome to Fixya. If you want to connect you Wii to the internet wirelessly first we need to know
the settings of your router. Listed below are the steps on how to access your
router. You need a working computer connected to the router to access it follwed
by the steps on how to connect our Wii.
How to access the Router:
To access the router page you need a working computer that is connected to the
router. To access your router you need to use a computer that is connected to
it. Open a Browser then type 192.168.0.1 or http://routerlogin.net. The Default username is admin and the password is password.
Password is case sensitive.
Go to the
Wireless Tab select Wireless
Security under the Security Mode you will see there
Network Key (Wep/Wpa Key) or Passphrase. The Network Key serves as a password or
security code on your network to make it secure. Network Key is case sensitive.
Now that we have the information needed lets connect your Wii
to the internet.
1. Select Wii Settings
2. Then Internet Connection Settings
3. Search
for an AP or SSID
4. Input Security Key or Network Key
5. Test the Connection.
Other Suggestion
Did this connection used to work but has suddenly stopped? "Power
cycle" your router by unplugging it from the power outlet. Wait a few minutes,
and plug the modem back in. Wait a couple of minutes for the modem to
initialize, then plug in the router. Try to connect the Wii and test for proper
response.
The Wii may have detected and
set itself to the wrong security type during the initial connection set up. Try
creating a new connection file and going through the connection process again
but be sure that when the Wii asks for a security code, the type shown on screen
(WEP or WPA) is what your router is set to. If it is different
Change your router's
channel setting to 1 or 11. By default, most routers broadcast on channel
6, which overlaps with other channels and may be weaker
Don't forget to say thanks. Thanks for using

you can reset the router by pressing the reset button at the back of the router however the settings will be back to its original state. You can still configure your laptop wirelessly by making sure you get the SSId and network key by following the steps mention above.
did you follow the steps above what error message did you received?
I haven't tried them yet. I am at work. I'll try it later this evening. I'll let you know tomorrow. Thanks for all the help.

Ezra. Thanks for the assist. I'll try it, but I have already done most of that stuff.
Netgear told me I had a "problem" with my router and needed it to be "reprogrammed" or something of the sort. I am not very literate at computers but I knkow a BS sales pitch when I hear one. Is there a way to reset the system without having to reset my 3 laptops? I have a "secure" wifi network in my home.
Also, my 3 laptops are working fine with the router. It's just the Wii that won't connect.
