Title: Lagging?
Post by: Feynman on March 12, 2008, 04:12:14 PM
Go into your router's control panel (it's 192.168.0.1 for me), and forward the port of your Wii's IP address from 1 to 6553 with the traffic type UDP.

Don't ask me the specifics, use Google for that. But it works. It worked for me, at least.

My Wii isn't listed as being a port.  >.<

EDIT: I custom added it and set it to 6553.

you need to foreward your wii's static ip, which you can find in the router's control panel where it gives you a list of all the devices/computers connected to your router

Ok, let me get this cleared up. I have a Linksys WRT54GS. So I go to my router control panel, then go to Applications and Gaming (Port Range Forward). Then, I enter Wii under application. After that, I enter 1 in the start box and 6553 in the end box. Then, I enter the protocol as UDP.  I enter my Wii Static IP under IP Address. Finally, I click enable.


Is that correct?

YES

and/or you can find the DMZ settings in your control panel and put in your wii's static ip address, but that's not necessary after doing the port forewarding

look for a log or something

Post by: KonohaShinobi on March 19, 2008, 07:31:34 AM
Oh lord it lagged like hell last night when I randomly played a person 1 on 1 and It literally lagged to the point where it was unplayable for like 10 seconds, moving at like a frame a second until it finally smoothed out. And the beginning of a random match was moving like it was in slomo.

I will try this out ,hopefully, soon.

When you foreward a port, do you have a dropdown menu that lists all of the devices that have used the router?

And now my Wii lags worse than before.
I still managed to win in a random match against three people. doodella;
Really, my attacks are now delayed by like one and a half seconds (a guess, I didn't use stopwatch or anything) after I press a button. It used to only be like half to three-quarters of a second.

btw router is Actiontec MI424-WR and ISP is Verizon FiOS.

As long as you have a browser, you should be able to access your router's control panel. It's an IP address you enter into your browser's address bar and you're directed to it.

Sorry I am such a noob.   >.<

It says to enter a name and password to see the page... But are you sure doing all this will help the lag? I am somewhat skeptical and I don't want to go through the hassle if it won't help.

I did that numerous times but it's being very uncooperative. I changed my admin pass and shit to make sure everything was hunky dory but it's just not working. Anyway, I think it would be best not to screw around with the router settings considering my dad is being VERY pissy about his connection. He has been blaming his inability to hook up his computer to our wireless signal on the fact that I hook up my wii and 360 through it. Doing anything that might slightly upset him useally isn't worth it.
