Sorry this is so long…
Hello. I bought a WIFIMAX from Datel a little while ago. I have spent days upon days trying to get this little booger to work…… Here is a list of my problems:
1. Wii will detect network adapter, but wont connect through internet (error code 52030: Cannot connect to the internet).
2. In the Zydas control hub, under ‘more setting…’, there is no option for my Dial-up modem in the Bridge Adapter drop-down box.
Ok. In regards to number 1, the Wii has 2 out of 3 bars signal strength, so that’s not the issue. In addition, it works fine until it does the ‘connection test’. That is when it tells me the adapter couldn’t connect the console to the internet.
In regards to number 2, I read someone else’s answer to this. They said to uninstall the Zydas drivers, make sure I am connected to the net, and reinstall to make the modem option under Bridge Adapter appear. It didnt work. Now, it just has a blank box for Bridge Adapter.
——————————————————–
PLEASE NOTE that I DO IN FACT have my modem set to share the network, so don’t give me that crap…I’ve already gotten far too much of that. The Firewall is also totally shut off.
The Zydas hub is also set correctly to Access Point mode. In addition, I have tried many different channels for the hotspot, too… I’m assuming my problem is with that Bridge Adapter thingy.
I have used the WifiMAX software to configure it, and It says it should work fine….
I am running:
ISP: Netzero HISpeed 3G
OS: Windows XP Service Pack 2
Modem: AC97 SoftV92 Data Fax Modem with SmartCP
Another factor might be that I am running Norton Antivirus, and I cant figure out how to shut it off without uninstalling it, so…..would that affect it? I’m just so fed up with this thing…
Before you go on a rant about Dial-up being suckily, I must say that broadband cable isn’t available out here in the sticks, and my parents are too cheap to get sattellite.
I have read posts from plenty of WifiMAX users saying that they use it with Dialup, so I know it works, somehow…
I really want wireless….really bad…..please help!!!

REPLY TO USER: "u love meeee"
Routers won’t work with dial-up, will they?
MAJOR UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:
I found an FAQ for setting the WifiMAX up and Datel says that it is NOT compatible with ANY dial up connection because it wont show up in the bridge adapter box…
My question is, how did other users use dialup with it?!?!?
-__- I am just so sick of this thing…
The box said, "Turn ANY internet enabled computer into a Wifi Hotspot!".
Screw Datel’s false advertising…..
