Internet connection problem

[half valve]

my Wii's internet isn't working and i am currently using the new dns settings (167.86.108.126 and 1.1.1.1) and the internet on my other devices are fine but every time i try to connect my Wii it just doesn't work i tried my main and secondary internet networks with the same dns settings but that doesn't work either, if there is a way to fix the issue let me know.

is ur wifi protocol 802.11 b/g/n

The Wii needs a 2.4ghz signal with Network 802.11b enabled, and the security type set to at best WPA2-PSK (AES). If your isp will not let you change these settings, you have a few options:

You can use a LAN adapter. It must have the ASIX AX88772 Chipset or say “compatible with Wii”. Here’s a recommended LAN adapter by uGreen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DRKYKMM/

Alternatively, you can buy router and just use the isp you already have, like a mesh network. Here’s a cheap router that should work for the Wii https://www.walmart.com/ip/Netis-WF2412-Wireless-router-4-port-switch-802-11b-g-n-2-4-GHz/37406393

so is that the reason it isnt working? or is it still the dns

[candid vine]

[clear kraken]
