| You might be better off just buying a cheap Wireless Network Router and hooking it up with the FIOS and enabling the Wii's internal Wifi

mine is set up phone line--> ISP modem ---> Linksys wifi router ------>Computer,WII
but my neighbours have phone line--> ISP modem ---> Linksys wifi router----->Another Linksys Wifi Router ------>Computer
So it should work with two router or amodem and router |

nope it's definitely a router that is wire or wireless capable
I think I'll try a different LAN adapter first, if it doesn't work then so be it, I'm not going overboard just to connect the Wii to the internet, it's not that vital  |

i have seen "Modem-->(wifi) router--->another wifi router--->computer many times before
but what do you mean by wire or wireless capable? |

| that I can connect to the FIOS router through wire or wireless, I can't even enter into the Router's settings menu, after I type in the name, I try to type in the password but every time I try to type in a character it displays 3 characters at a time, it won't delete or backspace the characters, it just displays more characters on it's own, so I can't change the wireless channel to 1 or 11, have to call them up now, very frustrating
would you know if resetting the router, will that erase everything on my network(all of the PC's and laptops)? will that also erase the SSID and Network Key? thanks |

| well I reset the router and HBB downloaded with no problems, all of the computers on the network are working fine without having to re-enter the SSID and Network Key, so I am one happy camper now, thanks for all of the help  |

Good to hear you got it working. |
