I'm playing Call of Duty on the other day, then i suddenly got disconnected. I tried it for another 6 hours, and still have no effect.

So! I get my cellphone and try to connect to the internet, and yeah, it doesn't work, too!

Then i opened the PC, and connect. Fortunately it did connect.

So my conclusion is: My Router can connect to all PCs but can't connect to other devices.

Please help! I wanna play my wii again!

Well i have my router's admin password so no one will changed it, right? My problem is that i'm playing, and then got disconnected... until now.

My Wifi router is DHCP.
My Router's encryption is WEP 64 bit.
I managed to re-setup the connection and the problem still exist...

Do i need to reset my Router or something?
Because this happened for the 2nd time.
But the first one is minor, because my phone can connect.

troubleshooting guide not in order:

1) Go to your LAN PC and ping all wireless devices connected to your router. Ping should tell you if there's delay, loss of packets or devices cannot be reach.

2) Change router channel, there are instances that wireless phone (not cell phone) at 2.4mhz can kill WIFI signal,

3) Check if there are other Wifi signal with same channel being use.

4) If it just COD problem it can be server error, happens a lot or cheaters get banned in COD , just to rule out router problem, go to wii setting and check and verify connections, also go to your internet channel, weather channel or shopping channel it should be able to tell you that the connection is there.

Try to unplug the router for a few minutes then plug it back in and try connecting.

If that doesn't work reset your router to default settings. Then try connecting without any security set up (no encryption).

If that doesn't work then it is possible your wireless router is defective.

If it works then set up your security. I would use WPA not WEP if possible. I have had nothing but issues with WEP disconnecting my wireless stuff.

After you set security up I would setup the Wii MAC address in your router so it gives a certain IP to the WIi system only and doesn't assign it to something else that may cause an IP conflict.

"ping" is just one way to verify connections between 2 devices.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping

From your router WIFI you should be able to view all devices connected then ping the IP of those devices.

Any other devices you have other than Wii? you mentioned your cellphone? does this works?

If not then follow Larrylje post.
