Error Code: 51331, out of the blue

[ripe coral]

The only difference between wifi working and not was about a 6 month break: no change to wifi, homebrew or files on the wii

Possible signs of a dying wifi card

[hexed crag]

Here's information about your error:

Class for error 5xxyy: Network connection error. »yy« is interface-specific.
Device for error 5xx31: Interface WLAN2.
Error for error 513yy: WLAN connection to access point failed.
Solution for error 513yy: Check WLAN settings at console and access point (router).
Note from RiiConnect24: Try changing your router's settings to use 802.11 b/g/n. If that doesn't work, try the suggestions found on Nintendo's site. https://bit.ly/2OoC0c2

I honestly kind of thought that

I should clarify, I do get other wifi signals, just not my own

is a wifi card fix easy or cheap?

[tardy heart]

Easy yes, I’m pretty sure it’s also relatively cheap

[tardy heart]

I would double check to make sure your 2.4ghz signal is enabled and working

[ripe coral]

how so?

ah wait you mean on router

[ripe coral]

yes it is on and flashing

my phone and computers work on it

[tardy heart]

Do you know where your 802.11b setting is? And if so can you verify that it is set to that?

[ripe coral]

I just checked with my dad

he said maybe its due to my router being set to N instead of G

[tardy heart]

That is a possibility

The Wii should be compatible with G

At least according to nintendo

Honestly you should be able to have both n/g modes on and have it work

[ripe coral]

yes hes going to check if it can do N and G

[ripe coral]

If I couldn't change that, is a mod or something possible to make it detect n

[tardy heart]

No. Even if there was that’s not how it works.

[ripe coral]

Fair enough

[tardy heart]

Does the router do b/g/n ?

[ripe coral]

Not sure yet

[tardy heart]

For reference, I have AT&T, and these are the options they give me for 2.4ghz

[ripe coral]

I'll be able to check tommorow

[tardy heart]

The 802.11n 2.4ghz option actually connected

802.11g gave me 51330

[ripe coral]

Weird

[tardy heart]

Indeed

[ripe coral]

We should be in 802.11n

At this point, it's probably best to run a cable lol

[tardy heart]

Ethernet adapters need a specific chipset to work on the Wii

[ripe coral]

Then what does the wired/ nintendo usb option do?

It says it connects to a computer, but not sure what it does

[tardy heart]

It must have the ASIX AX88772 Chipset or say “compatible with Wii”. Here’s a recommended LAN adapter by uGreen https://a.co/d/3OcSJDS

Oh shit I forgot amazon has some good deals going on rn

For prime members

[ripe coral]

I might just look into that

We have prime

[ripe coral]

So, I tried it out

I hit wired connection

On a ethernet adapter that works with switch, just to test

Moved my wii too to an uncomfortable place

Getting error code 51420

So something different is wrong

Looks like the adapter is not compatible

I think I'm just not going to use my wii anymore

Thank you for the help

[tardy heart]

The switch doesn’t require the same chipset as the Wii does, so that’s likely why it failed

[tardy heart]

Well that’s depressing
