    same thing. install the drivers but only the two network adapter makes that are already on my pc; eicon and microsoft

    so far i can only get the buffalo one on when i get the xp64 drivers from the ralink site, but when i install that it says there no device, doesn't see the nintendo connector as the same thing at all

    is it possible as this is a recent one that some maybe aren't using the rt2500 chipset? just a thought

    make sure after you install the drivers you re-check the enable ICS under the ASUS WLAN Card Settings

    Can you do a screen shot video so I can see whats going on, and the drivers that came with the download should work unless you had vista then you would be out of luck

    there's the link to the video for wdclean

    i think it misses when i right-click the driver and hit install, but i chose a low frame rate cos i didn't wanna bloat the size

    i was gonna show how installing the newer drivers shows the buffalo cards but sees them seperate to the wifi adapter, but for some reason when i uninstall these from device manager it kills my internet. pinging external sites works out, browsing the LAN works fine, but browsers wont work even on my router pages till i do a system restore, which is a pain!! and i dont think it's too important anyway

    Your not following the instuctions as in step 2. Yes you have the drivers installed but don't let windows try to install. Move on to step 3 and install the program also in the nin_wifi_Fullpack

    same thing as before, installngi the asus stuff just leaves it saying there's no wireless card so the asus utility can't start

    elaborate on step 1 maybe, how do i install these drivers? manually pointing to them from found new hardware says they're not compatible, check they're designed for xp 64, yet everyone says it should be fine for 64

    Hey, I'm new to these forums :)

    For everyone trying to connect the Wii to the USB adapter, I wanted to show the configuration that actually worked for me. After tinkering with the settings and reinstalling, etc., I've finally gotten the adapter to work with the Wii console.

    Here are my settings:

    SSID: Ren (I didn't hide it, so I'm not sure if it will work if it's hidden)

    Channel: 1 (If your Wii has trouble detecting the adapter, try either 6 or 11)
    54g Mode: 802.11b only

    Network Authentication: Open (won't work as shared)

    As far as the Wii console goes, I was able to just detect the access point. No need for manual setup unless you have your connection encrypted or your SSID hidden.

    Hope this helps!

    Ive got the connection set up on my XP PC and the connection is made. It says its connected and has a strong signal. My new PC, running Vista, is only a few feet away with an antenna and its picking up the signal and full strength but when I go to connect it doesnt work and there is no explanation.

    Any idea?

    Yours Bujin
