Everything was working fine the first days, but after months, it begans to give me issue.<br />I thought the problem was due to WPA+TKIP/AES configuration but even with no Wireless security set and no Firewall rule, I was unable to establish a connexion with the Wii<br />I fixed the problem by setting the ip configuration mannually.<br />IP address, subnet mask and Default gateway.<br />You have to pay attention to the DNS settings. Some routers act as DNS server and then you can set the DNS field to the router's IP address. However, some routers act as DNS relay and then , setting the DNS to the router's IP will fail. In this case, you should set the ISP DNS servers manually.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22120968.post-42957918075681210372010-03-04T13:50:58.350-05:002010-03-04T13:50:58.350-05:00The Wii is the problem IMO.

I suspect in your case that the Wii with its wildly excessive DHCP requests eventually puts your router into an unstable state and perhaps affecting your other devices? Google for Wii and DHCP requests and you'll find others with this problem.JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02564014626704181398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22120968.post-2582609813211485812008-04-16T17:28:00.000-04:002008-04-16T17:28:00.000-04:00I never did end up getting the TEW432BRP to work t...I never did end up getting the TEW432BRP to work the way I wanted it to with security enabled, so I'm currently back using the BEFW11S4 again. The Wii's wireless functionality still works only intermittently, but since the other wireless devices that are in the same room with the Wii are all working fine, I'm just pretty much dealing with it at this point!Jon Schneiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05718316809087214442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22120968.post-45077057154015537362008-04-16T15:40:00.000-04:002008-04-16T15:40:00.000-04:00I'm having exactly the same problem with my Wii an...I'm having exactly the same problem with my Wii and Linksys BEFW11S4. I had compiled a list of things to try from forums that resembled your list, so I'm glad I found your post before I tried all those things that didn't fix it. <BR/><BR/>I only tend to turn the router on when I'm using it, so it's not on for most of the day yet I still have problems. That makes me suspect that your theory about a component cooling down is not the issue (at least with my router). I have noticed however that when it's hot in the room where the router is, it does have connection problems (only wirelessly though), but - as crazy as it sounds - opening a window usually solves them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22120968.post-84894308627642590842007-09-06T17:27:00.000-04:002007-09-06T17:27:00.000-04:00I just this past week picked up a new wireless rou...I just this past week picked up a new wireless router, a TRENDNet 54Mbps 802.11g (TEW432BRP), when CompUSA had them on sale for US $5 shipped, after rebate.<BR/><BR/>I had a problem at first when I set it up for WEP security (to match the security I had set up on my old Linksys router). With that setup, my PC and laptop could see and get on the wireless network with no problem, but the Wii and my Tivo couldn't see the network at all. (They both had been working fine with the WEP security on the Linksys router previously.) I turned off security, at which point the Wii and Tivo found the network with no problem. My next step will be to turn on WPA security and see if the Wii and Tivo will work with that.Jon Schneiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05718316809087214442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22120968.post-70646691729366253012007-09-01T13:59:00.000-04:002007-09-01T13:59:00.000-04:00I wanted to find out if you were still having prob...I wanted to find out if you were still having problems with your wii and router.Avelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928157961533170610noreply@blogger.com
