Nintendo Wifi USB Connector Issues?

Jeff B

I have had this thing for over a year now and it has started giving me issues lately. This is what it does: it connects fine, 3 green bars, and my computer says someone connected, then it disconnects me and says "Unable to connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Confirm connection settings and access point settings."

And a 52103 error. I tried looking up this error on nintendowifi.com, checking these settings, turned off the firewall for the USB connector, unplugged it and plugged it back in, and even reinstalled it. Some days it works perfectly, but if I unplug it, it won't work for about 24 hours.

Any help or does anyone know how to fix it (or at least what the problem is)? This thing worked yesterday.
No one around me has a wifi network (I checked with a laptop a while back :P) and I have talked on my cordless phone and been connected at the same time before (recently). The microwave is off and far away and I turned off the baby monitor and it still didn't work.

I am not using a router, I am using the USB Connector (little white thing with the blinking light).

Answer
It's probably interference from a neighbor's new wifi network.

change the channel on the router - there are 11 of them, pick a new one that is as far away from the current setting as possible.

Cordless phones, baby monitors, microwave ovens also use the same 2.4 GHz frequency can can cause problems.

Having problems with wifi cutting in and out?

Brad

Lately when I've been using my laptop the internet has been cutting in and out and I cannot figure out what the problem is. This first started happening about a month ago about 2 weeks after we received road runner. I restarted my computer one day and when it signed on to the network there was a limited connectivity icon for the wireless network card.

The first thing I obviously tried was to recycle the modem and router. I turned those off and plugged the scientific atlanta modem back in that was supplied by time warner, then about 3 minutes later when the modem was booted I plugged in the wireless netgear wpn824v2 router. I had the same problem.

The second thing I did was check the WEP key, which I did have set wrong but when I fixed it, again, it was the same problem. I know for a fact it is correctly set now.

The third thing I did was update the wireless network card driver on my laptop (which is a toshiba satellite a205-s5804 btw) This did not fix anything either.

The fourth thing I did was check for interferences. I went into the room that the router is in and I sat down and the computer connected to the internet fine. I figured it was the printer we have since we just hooked it up the day before. I unplugged the printer went back into another room and thought it was fixed, untill a few days later it the limited connectivity icon popped up again.

From that day forward I have been able to reconnect the computer to the internet just by going into the room the router is in and leaving, only to find that 12hr - 2 days later it is giving me the limited connectivity icon again and not letting me connect to the internet.

I am connected using mode g and b, and it has been set like that for a long while with no problems.

Answer
The most likely cause interference from a cordless phone or a baby monitor. Go into the router configuration utility and try changing the channel.
