NFC - Nintendo Fan Club

Hmm...they must've made a new version then. ...Do you mean a WEP Key? Do you have a router otherwise? What's asking for it - the software or the Wii? If you don't have an actual router then the WEP Key should be in your Datel manual.
 
No, not a WEP key. And it's on the Wii. In the manual setup for WiFi, it asks for something called a Default Router and you have to type something in. I just don't know what they mean. And no, I don't have a router otherwise.
 
Then, don't use the manual setup. If the dongle creates a wireless access point then have the Wii (and the DS) search for an existing access point. I think it's either called "Access Point" or something like "AOSS".
 
That's what I was trying before, but I get error code 52030. I think it means it couldn't get an IP address. That's why I'm typing the stuff in manual setup so it knows my IP address.
 
That's what I did. It wasn't much help.

I really appreciate you trying.
 
Sorry to side step your prob (I would try to help, but I know I'd just make thinks worse XD). But.... Worldwide the Wii has sold over 3.14 mil consoles in a little under 2 months (Japan and Europe had their numbers updated on the 14th/15th of this month, where the US, Canada, and Australasia haven't said anything since the 31st of Dec). Not bad for a little white box that's said to be a kiddie system.

I guess we'll be waiting a little longer for MP8.

And I can't wait to play MK64 again (I LOVED that game, I rented it all the time along with SSB). And I also really want to play LoZ: ALttP.

That's pretty funny. XD

... ALttP is from the SNES. ;_;

But anyway, I think I'm going to get MK64 then, at least it's going to entertain me more than any other VC game yet. I'm waiting for SSB too...

Snap. Looks like I got the 'S' out or something.

And by the way Trikip, first of all, congrats on your WiMAX purchase. XD
Anyways, down to business:

The default address is an address you type into your browser where you can access all of the device's settings, including WEP Key etc. Have you tried searching in the manual for the default address?

I looked up your device on Google and it pretty much does the same thing as the Nintendo thingymabob (it acts as a wireless mini-router, powered by the computer that it's connected to). I found a review by IGN that you might want to check out here. Apparently, from what I've seen, it only reviews the DS setup, but the Wii setup must be very similar. If any of the above at the IGN review doesn't work, try re-installing the software that came with your Wi-Fi MAX. I tried looking for details on the device and all I found was a crappy official Datel site, which has only one news article related to it (hell, they even called the Virtual Console service the "Virtual Arcade"). You can try contacting Datel for any further info here but I doubt it'll be of any help, seeing as how the site is, with no product info.

So, resuming, I suggest you check the manual, since the default address usually is 192.168.1.1, however I think this only applies to routers of the main industry. Tell me if you find anything in the manual, and I'll be glad to help you out a little more thoroughly. :P

EDIT: Oh hang on, I guess I was being a little stupid there. Since it's a USB device, it should have absolutely no default address, and plus, to access the address, you need to be connected to it, and since the MAX is for DS, PSP, and Wii, it'll be a little hard... :P
With that said, I think you should completely uninstall the software and try again by following each step very carefully. You could also try out the option of instead of making the Wii look for a wireless router, make it look for the USB connector. You can do this by going to Wii Settings -> Internet -> (New Connection, say, Connection 2) -> Wireless -> Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector. Since the Wi-Fi MAX is very similar to the Nintendo USB Connector in functionality, this should work. I think that the main issue as to why it wasn't working was that you were making it look for a router, not a little dongle. :P Once again, sorry about the misleading stuff, and I hope everything turns out to be working just fine.

Not a bad list, but most of that stuff on there to me is pointless. I still say systems are for gaming. So the only thing I'd like to see on the Wii is a demo download thing. Everything else IGN listed is pointless to me.

Yeah, the sports news page is especially useless, i mean, why can't you just use the normal news channel and look in the sports categoryO.O? You don't need a whole channel just for a bit of a more in-depth look, that way, you might as well give all the other news categories their own channel too.
I love the download demo idea though, it would be nice to try out upcoming Wii and DS games for free before you buy them.

And it'll likely help on sells game sells. Like the 360 for example, I downloaded some demos and after playing them it makes me want them (they sold me on at least 3 games just by me being able to play the demos). If Nintendo did something like that then there's a good chance that people will like what they play on the demo and go out and buy the full game.

Yay... my Wii is FINALLY hooked up to the internet. But uh, I have a question about it. I know you have to have "friend codes" so, how do you check to see what yours is?

Click on that little letter at the bottom right, then click on the "Create Message" tab. And then click on the "Address Book" an then click the little left over thing (or just click the minus button) and there's your Wii number.

DDDD;

'nuff said.

Anywho, the only decent idea that IGN presented was the demo channel, and it ain't really theirs XD I'd rather see a demo channel for Wii games though, but I shouldn't be expecting that really :<

Anyway, does anyone else think that the Opera Wii browser needs some sort of right-click function, just for the sake of convenience.
 
I think if the Wii browser turns into a big use thing then we need to see a wireless keyboard and mouse. Because you can only do so much with the Wiimote. Sure, keep the Wiimote able to do things but if we're going to get into big stuff (posting on forums, able to sending messages, and so on) then we need more then the Wiimote.

Sonic in Brawl..... maybe...

Nintendo all grown up...
 
Rockstar on Wii? :O

Does anyone know why the ball goes to the left automatically in Wii Sports Bowling?
 
I loved Manhunt, totally loved it. And I think it could be awesome on the Wii, stealth kills using the Wiimote and nunchuk would just be amazing. I'd buy the game just to do those, it'd be a definite purchase if they can build upon the gameplay from the original.

And getting Rockstar on board is a huge coup for Nintendo. Here's hoping for an exclusive GTA game somewhere down the line.

Trikip, it's because of how you're throwing it. Your arm is slightly curved as you throw, so the ball spins in that direction. It does the same to me, only going right instead.
