Who ever said the Wii is a 'value' can suck it. I brought it downstairs to update the firmware and I'm sittin there with an ethernet cable in one hand, and the Wii in the other. I'm turning this thing around and upside down and even looked at it sideways. "Where in emmer effing hell does it go?!" I exclaimed. Turns out, I have to buy some adapter for it. 370 spent on the system and an extra controller set up (w/wii play), and they can't even stick an adapter in the box. Get real, already!   | |

| It has built in Wifi. All of my browsing, etc is done wirelessly. Check the settings and set it up to access your wireless network and you should be set bro!  | |

That should reset your router to default. The password will be something like admin. You can do a web search for your routers settings by it's model number.
And the Wii's built-in wi-fi is pretty slick. Just like the PS3's! | |

Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Milwaukistan, WI Age: 31 | I know how to reset it (go to hell, Serren!). I would hafta get my friend over first to do all the settings. For some reason, it wasn't just plug and play- he had to jigger with it for like 20-30 minutes when he first installed it. Seeing as though his job is networks, I'll hafta wait til he has free time. | |

But, all is not lost- i inserted my tiny penis into the hole in back and it took care of everything. The Wii is updating, and hopefully the 360 won't be in strict mode no mo'.
Thanks for the tips!  | |

| A little bit of whale dick never hurt anyone; see fear factor for video evidence, LOL.
The Wiis network setting were easier to work with than the PS3's in my opinion. | |
