To resolve this out, having a Wireless Router in just G Mode did fixed the issue. So a $20 router (which has a bridge mode) to talk to my main N Router fixed it right up!

Do you have a link to the model that you are using? I would rather have a LAN adapter that works than use WiFi 😛

Yea, I see your point there. As far as interference, sure I have neighbors, but they are 50ft+ away, so that could very well be and I will try switching the channel on the new router. My laptop is wireless N and I am constantly using it (as well as my wife’s). So that is probably the real problem. So adding an extra wireless router set to just G, no mixed modes that is just for the Wii should work just fine. I am going to try that and see what comes of it, as that is probably what is happening.

As far as streaming netflix, B should stream it fine depending on the Quality. I stream netflix over Sprint’s 3G all the time, they just dumb down the quality. Even on a home network it should be fine as long as you increase the buffer time, it would just take the buffer a bit longer initially.

But I think it is just the mixed modes and the N-devices causing issues ultimately, but I will find out one way or the other 🙂 Thanks for the feedback.

I did some research and found this: http://joshhighland.com/blog/2006/11/22/nintendo-wii-wifi-problem-fixed/

My router only does g+n and I am sure that is the problem. Ordering a cheaper router with bridging capabilities to try b+g and see how it turns out. I will update once I have tested it thoroughly. If so, a simple $25 router might by my saving grace for another year or two until I can upgrade my tv 🙂

I installed a Wii LAN adapter hoping the same thing. Sadly the Wii LAN adapter does not work well at all with WiiMC (maybe I just got a bad one) but yea. It is slow as tar loading up and the directory listing for Samba gets garbled and only shows a handful.

Not sure if this has to do with the USB module WiiMC uses, but yea. I would save your money.

As far as buffering issues, if your router has QOS, set that up and give the Wii Priority, this should alleviate that.

This usually happens to me when other stuff is happening over the wireless network. I setup QOS and gave the Wii priority and havn’t had a problem since.

I would check into that.
