Or did I misunderstand which software you were referring to?
go into device manager and make sure the connector in enabled

Yep, it's enabled. It has the yellow exclamation point to show that it's not installed though. First my printer, then this, I'm starting to regret getting XP x64 lol.

Yes, I did - sorry, should have mentioned that with the other files. Oh - incidentally, there was nothing to overwrite. There was no rt2500usb file there before. I did have it in the right folder though.

Your sure that the usb hub your trying is working, maybe try another one as it seems like everything is fine to this point and maybe something on the windows side is screwing you around, check to make sure the usbs are funtioning

Before I try and make this work, since everyone seems to have some problem, is there a way to uninstall/remove everything done to the USB so that it can be used as a Nintendo Wi-Fi again?

No problem...just to make this point as this is really not a hack but a way of letting the nintendo connector go back to being it self again and thats a buffalo connector....

I was asking mainly because I installed it and it didn't work...
My Wii could find it, but not connect to the internet on it
So I just want it to be a Wii connector again as it worked when it was

you more then likely have to do a little tweaking...here's a setup that should work
Under The Asus WLAN Card Setting
Click on Config on the left side.
Basic Tab:
Network Type:Infrastructure
Network Name:default
Channel : 1
Encryption Tab:
Network Authentication: Open
Data Encrption: Disabled
Soft AP Tab:
Check The Soft AP Mode
Check To Enable The ICS
Access Control Tab:
Access Control Policy: Accept
Access Control List: This is were you input your mac address of your DS found under Nintendo WFC Settings,Options,System Information there you'll find your Mac Address 00-00-00-00-00-00 eg. Just note this is were you would input additional hardware addresses as well ( PSP, Laptop Eg.). Then of course you click add. Now you'll see that same address under the list of Mac Addresses Allowed To Be On The Network.
Now go back to the basic tab and click on advanced make sure under the 54g Mode its 802.11b only. All the other settings should not to be touched.But if you want to know here's what mine are set to.
RTS Threshold: 2347
Fragmentation Threshold: 2347
Preamble Mode: Long
Frame Bursting: Disabled
54g Mode: 802.11b only
54g Protection: Auto
Use Short Slot Time: Disabled
Important after making any adjustments to click on OK on the bottom left before closing tab.
Ok try your DS by going into nintendo WFC, then nintendo WFC Settings,Nintendo WiFi Connectin Settings. Erase all previous settings. Now pick a connection 1,2 or 3 now search for access point, after a few moments it should come up with a screen showing a default connection thats unlocked and a signal, Click OK. It will show a new Connection 2 Settings screen press OK again and it will set up your DS connection for you. After its done it should say connection successful and then go back to the Connection setup screen. Now just back out and your ready to Play. If you wanted to go into the connection setup screen again ,you'll see that the connection you choose has changed the erase settings to yellow from white meaning its saved. Now Go Have Fun !!!!
Any problems I'll try to help you figure it out.

Look at my setup a few posts earlier. What you have to do is change the ip address of the connector.
Now right-click on the Wireless Network Connection and click Properties. In the middle of the dialog there will be some protocols, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then open the properties for that. Windows would have assigned a static IP address if ICS was successfully enabled, check to make sure this IP address does not conflict with other IP addresses on your network. Also, it should be on a different subnet to the Local Area Connection (for example, my computer's IP address is 192.168.0.2, I assigned the wireless network connection the IP address of 192.168.1.1 - which is on a different subnet). If it is on the same subnet, ICS will not work correctly.

Maybe if everyone could just read the instuctions on the first page or the included text file with the drivers they would see how easy it really is.

Oh sorry I skipped your post when you explained it...
I read the instructions on the front page but it confused me so I was just following the video...
Could my problem also be that I am not using the computer with the router?
Because if I change the IP Address of my Wireless Network connection, my computer just semi-freezes
I made the Wireless Netowrk Connection 192.168.1.2
My IP is apparently 220.237.53.32

One computer has a router which connects the computer to the net.
I'm not on that one.
I am on a computer in the other side of the house conneted to the other computer for ICS.
I don't know if that would be a problem, thats all...
