How do I connect my Wii wireless connection to SBC DSL?

Question

I just got a Nintendo Wii. I also have SBC DSL. I have a Siemens 5100 speedstream modem and a linksys broadband B router (BEFW11S4). The router is connected to my Siemens 5100 speedstream modem provided to me years ago by AT&T (formerly SBC, formerly Yahoo) DSL. When I connect my laptop to my network, I have to open SBC DSL connection manager and log on. According to AT&T, there is no way around using connection manager. Anyway, I just got the Wii. It recognizes my SSID. I entered my WEP password but it fails to connect to the internet. I downloaded the latest firmware and changed the broadcast channel to 11. I tried to manually put in the ISP address, DNS address and other information. None of it works. Can someone please help?

Thanks

Answer 1

Is it the ss5100 a or b? A has 4 lights in the front of the modem and the B has 5 lights. The 5100a has to have a manual connection so there is no way around it But the B has a GUI connection with the b you can set the connection and plug in the WII but with the A it is not possible The best modem from SBC is ss4100 and again thanks for choosing AT&T internet services were we do value ur buisness lol

Answer 2

Have you tried going into the linksys router and setting it up for PPPOE connection and putting in your username and password? If your modem is capable for always on operation then the router should connect all your computers and devices to the internet without any interaction from you.

Since the Wii sees the router everything is working on your side, just need to work on the ISP connection side. Also make sure your routers firewall will allow your game connection.
