Wifi Connection

Anyone know how to make Brawl wifi better? It's annoying how much my game goes down because of lag. I have tried calling all the people I can and they have done everything. So, I'm coming to you guys for help. Please do not leave any annoying comments. I'm not in the mood. If you want to help please help. If you done then just keep truckin. Thanx for your help. I know I sound annoyed and angry... because I am. I'm mad I can't play the people I want to without lag screwing the game up.

Thanx for your help and support.

Btw: I have a Linksys Router. My Wii is wireless.

I understand your frustration, Rei. Heavy lag can really ruin a potentially great experience...

For one thing, a wired internet connection is considered best (data travels faster through cables than through air, I hear). Second, you can check your firewall and have your router allow traffic through all UDP ports (learned this through Nintendo's tech support forum).

Also, since your connection is wireless, be sure that no one else in your house is sharing your connection, or that some stranger isn't stealing your wi-fi.

Sorry to hear all this Rei. Emphasis on the stangers stealing your internet, though. Its happened to alot of people I know. Change your password, or if anything put one up.

I have a linksys router and comcast. I shouldnt lag but i do and its probably because wifi sucks

How do you get a wired connection?

Also, how do I know if someone is stealing my wifi?

I have Norton Virus Protection, would that mess anything up?

Sorry about the barrage of question but I need to know. I'm a noob at this kinda stuff. XD

You'll need an ethernet (cable) connection from your router to your Wii, and you'll also need a Wifi USB adapter for the Wii in order to properly attach the cord into the Wii.

I've only had wired connections, so I wouldn't know how to detect intruders who are stealing your wifi. And I don't think Virus Protection would mess anything up.

omg. thank you for telling me how to get a wired connection. i only new wireless because of the wii only having usb slots. lol.

Where can you get the Wifi USB Adapter? Anywhere like Walmart?

probably. just look at the game section area for the wii.

maybe a stronger router wud help. i have a 54 mb router now but im getting a gig one and ive heard this helps a tremendous amount. also distance from router might have somethin to do with it

blah, my router isn't close to my wii.. I guess I can't make my wi-fi wired

I would have to put a big emphasis on the stranger stealing connection thing. I have a wireless laptop, I have wifi on it, I don't pay for wifi, and I take somebody elses =p

But not all the time, like right now it's wired onto my router.

Oh, and you don't. Put a password onto your router. But if my WiFi becomes blocked, can you take the password down? =p

lol, i thought wi-fi was free.

Well I meant I don't pay for the router, or the internet. But I do pay for my internet. Wow idk about you guys but the forums is messing up for me.

Also, Rei. How much Mega's of internet you have´ And ya, I suffer the same problems Rei does...Heavy lag... The Wi-Fi connection in Brawl is kind of laggy, even if playing in the same region. Brawl is humiliated in Wi-Fi when compared to Mario Kart Wi-Fi(NO LAG AT ALL, I'M TOTALLY SERIOUS!)

wow, you need to reduce your signature ice.

Sorry guys, I know this is a dead thread but how do you put a passsword on your router?

I was also wondering this...

i know how to do it for linksys router, but i'm not sure if it's same with all.

Well please explain anyways. It would be very help full .

you should be able to setup the password on the administration page of your router. my router(linksys) are usually at 192.168.1.1 (just type that in your internet browser thing) then set up WPA for wireless security (you need a passphrase in order to do this) and setup a password for your router. and after that, no sneaky neighbors can steal you're internet!
