Has anyone had success connecting the Wii to a 2Wire Router using a wireless connection? The Wii is detecting the router and I have manually configured it but when I try to connect it fails.

Any suggestions?

Well, after a week of trying various things I finally got the Wii to talk to my router. I switched from b to b/g mode. I changed my channel to 1. I reduced my transmission rate to the minimum. I checked my MAC filtering. I tried a static IP address. Nothing worked. Then I changed my security setting from WEP - Shared to WPA and BINGO!! Everything seems to be working fine now. Hope this helps someone else in the future.

found that out this week for our Nintendo ds - set wep to shared and auto ip and dns

sorry just read your post

okay so i was having the same problem, but i still am. when change my security settings from WEP to WPA it still doesnt work. It there a certain WPA? and what password am i supposed to use?

While this advice obviously does not help at this point whenever I have a wireless problem the first thing I do is connect without security and go from there.

I had difficulty getting my Wii connected as well. I tried many of the same things as you channel, b/g mode etc but in the end the one thing that fixed it was the length of my WPA PSK passcode. It was 63 characters long. I shortened it to 8 and it worked. I put all the other router settings back.

Recently though I notice the "glowing slot" for many hours at a time. I have not looked into it but I turned off the connection as a precaution.

That Bold part is pretty key... doesn't matter what encryption if you don't have that right :)

The password should be set by default to WEP-open & you'll find it on the side of the unit in square brackets (10 digit number), right next to some bar-codes

"open & you'll find it on the side of the unit in square brackets (10 digit number), right next to some bar-codes"

open the wii? or like my router?

lol, no don't open anything!

I mean "WEP-Open" as the encryption type.

Just look on the side of the 2wire.
