today i just got a wireless wifi link so i can get on wifi on my wii so i can play super smash bros. brawl and mario cart online but i don't know how to install the wireless wifi link to the computer or connect it to the wii. If someone can help me please, and thank you.|||When you setup your wireless router/switch, you set an SSID which you can name anything you want like 'Bobs Network'. Then in the Wii Connection Settings, type that same thing.
If you use encryption (highly recommended) try the WPA with a pass phrase. You put in 'Connect Me', or any phrase you want, as your pass phrase on the router's wireless security setup. Then when you try to connect a PC or the Wii, it should ask you for the pass phrase. You can IM me at kvn_cooney@yahoo.com if you need help.|||The SSID is the name of your wireless network. You can find and change it in the interface of your router. Check your router manual to find out how to get access to the interface of the router. The installation guide will tell you how to gain access as well.
When setting up wifi, I recommend using WPA 2 personal. If WPA 2 is not an option, use regular WPA. You must enter the same password both on the router and on the computer. Change your SSID to something different.
Once my wireless is setup, I also disable my SSID broadcasting. If you change your SSID and put in a WPA 2 passphrase, it would require for a war driver to gain access to your wireless. He would first have to guess your SSID and then guess the WPA password. Disabling your SSID along with setting up a WPA password is almost like having 2 passwords. Fear not, you will not have to enter this in every time you connect to the wireless. It is a one time thing.
