Hold down the reset button on the back of the router till all lights blink...

You can now log into the router using the default user/password.

They have huge stockpiles at the Nintendo store. Also, I usually see 1 or 2 at the local Game Crazy. Last time I was at Wal-Mart, I counted at least 5 Wiis. Just check around, you should be able to find one somewhere. Or if you have a Nintendo store nearby just go there.]]>Oct 10th 2007 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/Oct 11th 2007 7:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/
How about a Bluetooth keyboard????? Anyone here have a 20 foot USB cable handy? How many cables between the Wiimotes and the console?

If they would add an update for my Gyration mouse... I would be all set on the Internet Channel! lol]]>Oct 10th 2007 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/
couldn't press the "OK" key using the keyboard though.]]>Oct 10th 2007 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/
"so buy a Bluetooth keyboard. Plug the USB adapter into the wii and sync. What is the big deal here?"

Because who knows if it's compatible with just any bluetooth keyboard and I'm not willing to spend $50 to find out.]]>Oct 10th 2007 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/
I can move the keyboard next to my bed (about 12 feet away from my computer) and control the sound volume and skip music.

RF wireless keyboards have a USB dongle you can plug into a USB port and it just sees it like a regular keyboard, they also make some pretty small dongles, like 1/2 inch long, here is an example picture: http://www.acorncomputers.com/images/items/100541.jpg

/ note this is not store spam, just an example picture for a wireless dongle]]>Oct 10th 2007 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/
Also - you found a Bluetooth keyboard for $50? that's a good deal!]]>Oct 10th 2007 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/Oct 10th 2007 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/Oct 10th 2007 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/
I'll test the same config on the Wii after work (in about seven hours) if nobody has done so yet.]]>Oct 10th 2007 5:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/
I have a basic Logitech wireless USB keyboard working just fine with my Wii. I believe it was the LX300?
They all should be pretty standardized.

Worst case, return the product within the return window and say it doesn't work with your system (if they even ask). Just make sure they don't charge a restocking fee and you're good to go.]]>Oct 10th 2007 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/Oct 10th 2007 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/Oct 10th 2007 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/Oct 10th 2007 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/Oct 10th 2007 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/Oct 10th 2007 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/Oct 10th 2007 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/Oct 10th 2007 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/Oct 10th 2007 6:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/Oct 10th 2007 10:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/Oct 10th 2007 5:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/Oct 10th 2007 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/Oct 10th 2007 5:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wii-update-adds-expanded-usb-keyboard-support/Has anyone figured out a way to get "Enter" on keyboard to work as a "Enter" instead of just a "Return"?
