Also in the router setup pages, make sure you go to the Advanced tab and select  Advanced Network on the left hand side.  Make sure Enable UPnP is checked.

i dont have a password on the wii.  and i dont have a wep security key. even when the router is unsecure i cant get an internert connect on the wii from the router.

[davevt31]

Did you follow the instructions at the start of the thread? 
Set up the router following early steps then go to the Wii and enter the password that you setup on the router.  The word you put in for the"Pre-Shared Key" on the wireless setup will be the word you use on the Wii as the password needed to connect to the wireless.

its still not working aaaaarrrrgggghhhhh

[panda349]

i have 2 computers connected to the router now which i was having a problem getting the 2nd computer to go online through the router but now it works.  still cant get the wii connected to the internet though. and using the lan adapter for the wii doesnt work either when connected to the router.  very frustrated.

[panda349]

still cant get internet connection on the wii.  dont know what to do now.

[davevt31]

Do you have any friends that also have a Wii?  Maybe they could come over and see what is going on,  its hard to troubleshoot things when you can't physically see what is happening.

[panda349]

i dont have any friends and apparently the one code i get on the wii has to do with firewall.  how do i change firewall settings on the router?  is there firewall settings on the router? 

[davevt31]

You said in an earlier post that you weren't sure if you were running a DIR-655.  Can you verify what router you have, the hardware version and frimware version?

[panda349]

i never said i wasnt sure that my router is a dir 655   it is a dir 655.  aaaarrrggghhhhhhhh.  all i know is it isnt connecting to the internet.

[panda349]

hardware version?  firmware i think is 1.35NA

[davevt31]

haven't tried it yet.  i noticed on the left top corner of the page that the router model number isnt the dir 655 model.  i think when i had my computer repaired the person installed his router on my computer.  now i cant find my router cd to reinstall my router.  dont know if i really need to use the cd for that.  i didnt use the cd the first time i installed the router. i called dlink and the helped me with the setup (settings etc).

This is the post I was referring too.  The hardware version will be listed at the top of the router setup pages right next to the firmware version.

[panda349]

hardware version A4 firmware 1.35NA

[panda349]

really pissed off that my nintendlo wii cant get internet connection.  i feel like smashing the wii and the router.  my new xbox 360 slim cant get an internet connection from the router either.

[davevt31]

I don't want to sound rude, but you may want to get someone to come in and help you as you seem a little over your head trying to set this up.  It really isn't that hard if you followed the steps provided here. 

I know you said in another thread that you have AOL, that may be part of the problem too.  Without being there to see exactly waht you have for your Internet setup its hard to troubleshoot from long distance.  Did they give you a cable modem or is it a modem/router setup? Or is it a DSL setup? Or did they give you some kind of spefic box that they only use to make your inital Internet connection?  Like I said with knowing your exact layout of things it hard to go beyond basic information to get you going.
