I have a F5D9230-4 and a few months ago got a WII. I've tried to get the WII set up to go wireless thru my router to their website. It accepts everything but when it tries a connect test it fails and says it can't get a connection. I also see no evidence that it has routed thru. Of Course they say the problem is in my router. Can you help??

  1. Turn of wireless security in the router, see if you can get the Wii to work UNSECURE.
  2. If the Wii, connects with security turned off, then enable security on the router (WPA is recommended) and a 10 digit key (I use an onld phone number from my childhood)
  3. Go back to internet settings on the Wii, select the wireless configuration you were using, click advanced, and enter the WPA key.
  4. Test connection Wii should work

I can't get connected to Netflix. I keep getting error 51030

That sounds like a Nitendo Wii errorcode; assuming your using that to watch Netflix:

From the tech support website: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/wfc/en_na/ds/results.jsp?error_code=51030&system=Wii&locale=en_US

Error Code: 51030
Unable to connect to your wireless network
Likely cause: Your wireless router may need to be power cycled, or the connection settings have changed.
How to fix: Power cycle your router; redo the connection settings on the Wii and try again.
  • Did this connection used to work but has suddenly stopped? "Power cycle" your router and modem. To do this, unplug both the modem and the router from the power outlet. Wait a few minutes, and plug the modem back in. Wait a couple of minutes for the modem to initialize, then plug in the router. Try to connect the Wii, Nintendo DS, or Nintendo 3DS online and test for proper response.
  • Erase your old connection settings on the Wii and set up a new one, as your router's settings may have changed since you last connected. We suggest following our guide to create a new connection file and start over. If at the end you still need help, you'll find contact information to reach our specially-trained representatives.

How do you connect the internet to the wii i have wireless in the house and it still wont connect

First, you have to go through the Internet connection setup process through the console and you've made no mention that you've attempted that so I wanted to make you aware of that. On the main menu, go to the lower left corner and click on the round Wii button. A new menu will appear with two options: Data Management and Wii Settings. Select Wii Settings. Go to the second page and choose Internet. Select Connection 1: None. Select Wireless Connection. Select Search For An Access Point. A network list will appear, select yours. You will then be prompted to enter the password/network key that you established when you set up your wireless router. The Wii will attempt to test the connection. If successful save your settings.
Second, simply because you have Wireless in the house it doesn't mean that it your wireless router has signal strength to reach the WIi. Various factors affect this including signal strength, distance from the wireless router to the console and obstacles such as walls and ceilings that interfere with the signal. If you're using a G router and you have your Wii is too far away or, has obstacles in the way, it will not connect. You should use an N-Router if there is a significant distance between the console and the router or if there are obstacles. Here is everything you need to know about connecting your Wii to the Internet.

I bought a wireless router and when I try to hook it up to the wii I do the test and it says error code 50300

Error code 50300 for the Wii signifies that your wireless settings are not correct. What you have to do is go into the Wii Internet setup, and make sure that the settings on your Wii are identical to the setup in the wireless router that you are trying to use. The most common problems include:

1) SSID, which is the name of the wireless network that you setup in the router.

2) The WEP or WPA key, which is the security password that you setup for either of the security protocols that the wireless networks use. You should definitely use the WPA security protocol as the WEP protocol was hacked some time ago.

3) Any manual settings you may have setup, such as whether you are using a fixed TCIP address or a dynamic one.

If you setup the router yourself then you should be able to check the settings on the Wii on your own to verify they are correct. If you had someone else setup the router, use the following link on the Nintendo website which will help you go through the Wii settings to ensure all is well:

http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/wfc/en_na/ds/results.jsp?error_code=50300&system=Wii&locale=en_US

How do i fix error code 20100

Code 20100 means the Wii is having connection problems with your WiFi. Nintendo says:

Error Code: 20100

  • There could be a temporary issue with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection servers. Please wait a few hours and try again.

  • If after waiting a few hours and the problem has not resolved, there could be a problem with your home connection. Try the following:

    1. Ensure your home internet connection is working properly. Use a PC that is attached to your home router and visit a website that you have not been to before, in order to check that the connection is currently working.

    2. Try adjusting the "Channel" your wireless router broadcasts on. We highly recommend setting your wireless router to either channel 1 or 11. This can potentially increase stability. For information on accessing your router's settings, click here to select the brand name and model number of your router (if available).

    3. Within the Wii's system settings, erase the current connection file you use to connect your Wii online, and set up a new one. To do this, access the "Internet" option from the Wii settings. For step-by-step instructions, click here.
    If you are still receiving this error code after waiting a few hours and trying the steps above, please call 1-800-255-3700 for assistance.

TEW432-BRP Trendnet wireless broadband router wont connect

Sounds like you need to configure the PC's USB wireless adaptor. The settings must be the same as the router. If you use a WEP password on the other connections then you need to have the same password on the USB wireless adaptor. Good Luck.
