Connecting a Nintendo Wii to an Airport network

Written by Shed Boy on October 26, 2008 – 6:38 pm -

For those of you that own an Apple Airport or Airport Extreme, you may find the Wii’s interface a little obtuse as far as connecting to that network.

If you just want your Wii to connect directly to your AirPort, here’s how:

1. Ensure you know your Airport’s ‘name’ - if you go to the Airport icon at the top right of your screen you’ll see the name of the Airport network you’re connected to. This is what the Nintendo Wii calls your SSID.

2. Turn on your Wii and navigate to the Wii settings (icon is on bottom left of the screen).

3. Go to the second page of settings and click on ‘Internet’, then ‘Connection Settings’. There you’ll enter your Airport network’s name. Then click on the blue arrow to the right of where you’ve entered the name and you’ll be presented with password options.

4. I had set a WPA2 password for my network so that’s the button I clicked and then entered my password. You may need to launch the Airport Admin utility (Applications -> Utilities) to confirm which type of password you’ve set.

5. Click ‘Ok’ then let the Wii do it’s connection test. It’ll tell you if it’s successful and if it’s the first time you’ve connected the Wii it’s likely to download an update, which may take a while.

6. That’s it!

Joomla requests on the rise

Written by Shed Boy on March 8, 2008 – 12:15 pm -

In the past few weeks I’ve had a handful of enquiries via the site asking for us to consult on a Joomla installation. Unfortunately we’re snowed under for the coming three months and could only take on WordPress setups, which are quicker (and cheaper for you as well). This site runs on WordPress and I’d argue it’s superior to Joomla except in situations where large amounts of new data is handled daily by your site.

I’m also regularly asked to recommend a Joomla developer - I always point people to the Joomla Forums as a starting point - there’s one great community there.

I’ve lost my WordPress password - what do I do?

Written by Shed Boy on February 22, 2008 – 6:30 pm -

You use this excellent (and free) tool. You just need to have access to the server your WordPress installation is on and you’re laughing.
