Wireless connection issue - Wii to Time Capsule
I'm scouring the web for clues, mostly which involve wireless security suggestions, but has anyone resolved problems connecting Wii wirelessly to Time Capsule? Up until recently my wireless home network has been pumped out by a Linksys WAG160N modem. However the wireless ability of the Linksys seems to have died, so to get round that I've plugged in a Time Capsule (latest firmware 7.4.2) to the Linksys to get my wireless result. Apart from a decrease in performance generally, Wii keeps disconnecting from other players when using the WFC facility within Wii game Mario Kart. A connection is established with WFC, but then at some point during the game, disconnection. I then realised that these problems started about the same time that I started using Time Capsule for wireless. With all the internet chat about wireless security being an issue, I've removed all wireless security, maintaining only a closed network which I presume will make no difference. Doesn't seem to have made a difference, despite having cleared existing wireless settings from the Wii and resetting. Suggestions appreciated.

RE: Wireless connection issue - Wii to Time Capsule
Hi Steven, you have got me thinking now, I have my Wii wirelessly connected to my Time Capsule (at least it was before I packed up and in the process of moving house) and used it only for the purpose of downloading the skins for some games the kids use. I am curious to know for why you want the wireless connection into the Wii and what possibilities exist for me that I don't even know that I have. Does this give internet onto tv screen?

Re: Wireless connection issue - Wii to Time Capsule
Hi Peter With Wii's basic offering, there is news and weather which requires a connection to the internet. Gaming options are presumably game specific, but Mario Kart comes with the option of playing other gamers around the globe. Wii doesn't provide general internet on your TV so far as I know, but I haven't looked into the full suite of Wii applications.
