2nd Wii wont connect to internet

[Clinkers]

Hi all,

I've picked up a second hand Wii, the idea being to have it on the big tv so me and the missus can watch Netflix while the sprog can play with the old Wii in the other room.

The new Wii can't see the internet access point at all: I've checked the settings and they are exactly the same as the old one, and when I plug the old one back in (in exactly the same place, so the signal strength is fine) it works fine.

I had the old one set up originally using my router by itself, I've since added a range extender (both netgear/cisco) and it works perfectly. Would unplugging the extender and just using the router be any help?

Anyone any ideas wtf is wrong? I think I'm going to bring the new one back and get a replacement just in case, but knowing my luck, it'll be exactly the same when I do!

Thanks

go into the wifi settings and delete everything.

then search for an access point, if it can't find it, then it must be faulty...

Hi Buzzer,

Yup: set up my Galaxy2 as a wifi hotspot last night and put it on top of the thing, it still didnt see an access point! Back to the shop, got a new (you know what I mean!) one and all is good in da hood.

Cheers!!
