Wii w/WAP problems

[bassfisher6522]

I just got my Wii back yesterday. I had to send it off for repair because my son (3 years old) decided to put in some playing cards and a box top lid. My problem is that before I sent it off for repair I could connect to internet just fine. Now I can connect as before because my routers wireless security is disabled. I set up the router that way on purpose. Now I want to enable the wireless security, WAP Personal, which I did and reconfigured all laptops, everybody can connect. Now, when the Wii tries to connect I get error code 51030...that tells me that there is now WI-Fi access for it to pick up. If I disable wireless security it connects just fine. So, How do I keep my wireless WAP personal enabled and still be able to have the Wii connect as well. Any thoughts?

Wii will support WEP

but you really should set up your wireless for WPA2. It's much more secure.

Thanks, but before I could get back to post I already found out how...yes it was fro the Wii site. I just thought I would ask here first. Yes, I re-enabled wireless security to WAP2 personal. Everything is clicking now.

Sorry Lemur...I know it was long and drawn out but it's solved now.

Should I disable the wireless SSID broadcast and if I do will that mess up connection again.

It does improve your security (don't want to broadcast "hey, get your wireless here"). You should be able to do it without any problems.

SSID is disabled and no problems. Thanks for your help.
