Default Anbody having trouble with internet?!

Hey, I have a simple wireless set up in my house with 2 computers and my Wii picking up the wireless signal.

But my Wii never seems to be constantly connected Most of the time i have to keep doing connection test before the internet will work as 9 times out of 10 when i switch on the Wii and try to go to one of the channels i will just get the 'Error, Unable to connect to internet...' Message.
I don't think it's anything I'm doing, the Wii is not obstructed by anything and is closer to the router than the computers!
It's just starting to really annoy me now...

Anybody experienced any of this or have any tips??
Thanks.

there has been a fair bit of discussion about this topic, so if you use the search feature you might find help.......

You need to be more specific regarding your wireless router - some work better than others!

finally for now, which channel is the router broadcasting on?? The Wii seems to like 1 or 11 best. . . .

Sorry, I didn't see any in the list and forgot about search AT least you didn't slate me for it
My router is a Linksys.... as for broadcasting... I'm not quite with you If you could explain it that would be great thanks.

ok, my tech ability is low, so . . . . . .

go to NintendoWIFI.com

there you will find a list of routers and if they're any good for use with the Wii.

Each router can be made to broadcast it's signal on one of a number of channels, usually from 1 - 11. channels 1 and 11 are best for the Wii.

if you go to the linksys website you should be able to get tech help (or read the instruction manual) about how to change this if it is the problem....

hang on, if you are using a pc right now your wireless manager can tell you which channel its using. . . try that first, then go to the nintend link above

I pretty much am the wireless manager... I'm trying to try and find out how to check which channels it is broadcasting to, but no luck yet...
