@newsreader, tia m8 hope u can help, if not will ring sky and as for a netgear router.

You won't get one, your router is not faulty so will not be replaced.

@paulsky the main reason i went with sky was cheap and they told me would be easy to set-up the wii which it aint coz i have tried virtually everything thats been posted about it, so what you suggest i try next?

Maybe get a none sky router and try that maybe?? m8's got a netgear one so might try that it might work you neva know eh!

Our Wii connects no problem but when the connection dropped a while back we had to reset the router with the reset button on the back for 5 seconds and then delete the profile from the Wii and start it again - voila it worked.

Have you tried doing this yet robbo58?

You may have already tried this, but you may need to allow it as a trusted wireless station.

Won't work unless you know your adsl user name and password.
Try resetting the router back to how it was sent out, remove any changes you may have made to it. If it won't connect to the Wii go into the router settings, click setup, disable security encryption on the router and try connecting again. If it can see the SSID it should be able to connect to it if there is no security on the router.
Have you tried connecting anything other than the Wii to the router wirelessly? (apart from the N95)

[robbo58]

@captianW, yea tried that too m8 still nowt.

@dholdi, not tired that were are settings for it? tia.

@paul, tired all that too m8 and did try daughters laptop that found it but would not connect to it either so have no idea why it doesn't work.

ta for replies all.

[PaulSky]

Ok now if the laptop isn't connecting then it could be a bigger issue, when the laptop is asked to connect to the SSID for the router what happens? Does it ask for a key?

[dholdi]

For the V1 router its as follows, I assume the V2 will have a similar gui.
Go to router home page and click on wireless settings.
Then select setup access list.
In the page that follows at the top there is a check box labeled "turn access control on" - if there is a tick in this box you have to manually allow any wireless devices to connect to the network.
Below this there are 2 tables showing trusted wireless stations and available wireless stations. If the laptop and the wii appear in the bottom table then select them and click add and they will be transfered to trusted stations. You should only need to do this once unless you reset the router.

Had a quick go today, to try and set this up. However mine didn't work on first few tries.

Will have another go tomorrow when hopefully I will have some more time.
