Tutorial - Make Your Nintendo Wifi USB Connector A SoftAP

i need help i have everything installed correct but now everytime i try to go online on the wii it wont connect it just keeps cutting off how do i fix this

 

wow, took me forever to get this working. I've followed all the steps, everything worked flawlessly. The thing that didn't work was I was unable to connect to the wifi AP with my laptop. After reading up to page 23... I tried many things, and found that I had to change the 54g Mode to 802.11g Only. It didn't work the first time, but I thought I'd give it another shot and it works now! Thanks for the tutorial!

 

give us more details! till then

I've ran into a really annoying problem here. I'm at the point where I have to set up the Internet connection sharing. After I disable my connection like the guide suggested and try to enable ICS, it just freezes. I know it says it should take a few minutes, but I let it sit for far longer than that. It said the program wasn't responding when I checked the task manager as well.

I'm hoping this is the only issue I have, but I'm not sure.

 

Can anyone please help me
Everything went smoothly! When I set up a WEP password my Wii just couldnt pass the connection test.
But if i set as open for public (No WEP),there would be no problems at all and my wii could access to internet!

But since I am living in campus, I need to set up WEP or my Ip adress will be banned by the school. So does anyone know what is going on or can I set up WPA in that ASUS WLAN program if so where
thx!

 

Glad to hear it worked out for you.

I've been trying to get this stuff to work for months. Yes. Months. I've had nothing but problems for nearly every step. From not being able to install the modified drivers due to The original software's inability to fix my network after an uninstall(seriously, it raped my network settings), then getting error messages trying to install the drivers, where it told me files were missing...and more. and now I'm at my current problem, which I explained a couple of posts ago.

There REALLY needs to be an easier way to do all of this... Someone should make an installer. I'd worship them for that.

Anyway, I found a solution to a problem that I and a few other people have asked about several times in this topic but found no resolution.

Problem: When installing the modified Buffalo drivers, it stops you after Windows cries about the drivers not passing logo testing or something like that, and gives you a message to insert the the Nintendo Wi-fi connector installation CD, and that it needs to find the file "rt25usbap.sys" on the disc.

Solution: Insert your installation disc for the Wi-Fi connector and browse the CD. Find the program called DEVREMOV and run it. 3 windows will pop up one after another. The first is a series of question marks. (I don't know why the hell they couldn't just type actual words there... ) Just click "Yes". The second has little wires and blinking lights, and this is supposedly uninstalling internet connection sharing for the wifi sub adapter. It'll go away on it's own. The third is another bundle of question marks. Click "OK".

After that, the problem should be fixed.

 

I'm so frikin mad!!!!!!!!!
I've had this damn thing for over two years trying to hook up the connector for my ds. Now I try this and I cant get this to work either! I cant get the damn thing to come up, but who cares what the problem is. Alright, I know there's a way for people to go onto others computers and fic=x stuff. Can someone do it for this? Realyy Im pissed off that now I bought a new computer and so again I really want to connect it and it wont work... These tutorials never seem to help as somke frikin problem occurs that no one else had a problem with! Can anyone help me fix this stupid thing!

 

for some reason the wii, decided to not to work anymore. it can pick up the signal fine but i think its either WEP, or the ip address that isnt working. ill keep working on it and post any results, if anyone knows how to get it to work ill be very thankful


EDIT :
ok i fixed it up and found what the problem was that some of you should try doing. untick hide ssid, and search for access point on the wii. if it finds it enter the WEP key, leave the ip and DNS set to auto and try to connect. if it says it is unable to connect, unplug the NWUSB, and plug it back in. on the wii, clear the settings, and try auto search again, with auto assign on. try this for any device like ipod touch, ds and any other wifi enabled item

 

hey im having trouble with the guide. i copied the exe replacement ASUS files but when i click on the control center icon it gives me an application error that says: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc00000005) Click ok to terminate application". any ideas what's wrong? any help would be appreciated.

 

i think it's because im using windows vista. does anyone have a modified version of this guide for vista.

 

I could help you all but it seems no one can follow the few steps and should stay away from swaping out drivers.

Just to make this clear one last time
IT DOSEN'T WORK ON VISTA

The guy a few posts up with the two connectors...forget them both and connect to the same wifi as your laptop uses. Simple!

ultcth...I would just use the access control as the wep has nothing to do with your outside connection...Cheers

Please help me.. I dont know how to get it to work..

 

First thing you say you have a new computer, if its got vista forget it right now as it will not work with vista. Go spend 30 to 40 dollars on a cheap router and you will be far better off. If you don't have vista explain your problem and I'll help you get it going.

If it was that simple I would have done it ages ago. Alas, I cannot, because the DS's wireless range is far too short.

 

Right you are as they will not work together in this setup your laptop would have to be hard wired for this to work. Not sure of your location but maybe a wifi booster would solve the problem?

 

I haven't tried to use a WiFi booster yet. I looked and found various tutorials on homemade ones that seem to work fairly well, so I'm off to get out the cardboard, glue, and foil! ;D

Just to let you know: I did have this setup working propperly before my other WiFi connector (the one I use to connect my network) 'died'. It's problably because my old one used different drivers. I'm far too cheap to buy a new one though. If I did that I might as well just buy another router :/

 

my problem is that it will conect to my stuff just fien then all of a suddne it will lose connection and just stop blinking then t will blink again but nothing will connect to wifi

 

try un-plugging and replugging the usb

 

i did but it just repeats the same pattern someitmes it will go wifi someitmes it woill not i dunno whats wrong

 

and the ip addresses are correct and settings are all right?

what message comes up?
