hey, the information on this page was very useful and i finally got it to work after a long time. however, does anyone know how to make it go faster? as soon as i got on both my PSP and my computer started going as slow as shit. im guessing its the WIFI Max, but thats supposed to make it go faster... if anyone knows anything that might help my PSP go faster, please tell me.

Hi mate. You should recieve a CD of the Wi-Fi software. Try using that. It should install the Dongle for you.

I have managed to get it to connect, but there is no signal most of the time, and when there is, and i have been through everything and go on test connection, everything is Ok, until i get to the end and it says connection failed. i am clueless, and angry for buying the thing, any suggestions as to what to do?

A DNS error occured. (80410410)"
And finally, when i try to play online, there is another one:

Like the last person said, i suggest you return the Wi-Fi max and cut your losses. Once you over come one problem another one appears.

The other shitty thing is i stupidly bought this off ebay so its pointless trying to return it.

Hmmm...sorry mate.
As for the other guy, i suggest you disable your firewall and re-do everything on the first page. I know if i was in your situation you would be very angry at me, but the Wi-Fi max is a son a B****. You have to keep trying for it to work. The same steps over and over again. It will work, it did finally for me, but lets just say...the device is very sensitive. All the advice i can give you, is to do whats on the first page. Thats all there is to overcoming it.
Sorry.

Hi all, wish I'd found this forum before buying the wifi max instead of afterwards.
Along with many others I cannot get it to work, having spent all weekend doing virtually every suggested fix for it I still cannot get it to work.
Sometimes it says cannot find IP address and then it says found access point but cannot connect to server.
Just about had enough and give up now (shame as it seems a great idea and will not get to kart against my mates)
My question, is the official nintendo wifi connector likely to work if I get one of those.
I get the feeling the problem is a connection problem between my pc and the server and not the access point itself so would a different access point be any different?
Has anyone had problems witheir wifi max and then changed to the nintendo one for it to actually work?
Thanks,
Greg.

from what i know, theyre very similar, but the Nintendo one im guessing is for the DS. It can work for the psp too. I have a DS one and it works fine....sometimes. But the same problems occur as the PSP one.
My advice? Dish out 20-30 more pounds and get yourslef a good router.

ive managed to get it working by using steps from all the different ways of sorting problems, but how do i connect a laptop to WiFi max, it finds it, but it wont let me access the internet, the Troubleshooter which comes with MSN Messenger 7.5 says that the IP is ok, but shows that there is a problem with the Gateway
Also, can you use WiFi max without the PC turned on, or is there a way to keep it active all the time when the PC is turned off.
Thanks.
